The altercation unfolded yesterday afternoon near the PTT petrol station.
The tour bus, registered under Pornprom Corporation Co Ltd, bore the brunt of the dispute, with its driver’s side window shattered.
According to the bus driver, Thiraphong Panchuay, 36, the dispute arose as a small van attempted to turn onto a narrow road just as he was pulling out onto the main road.
In an attempt to allow him passage, the van momentarily stopped.
Meanwhile, a motorcyclist identified as Uruphong Kaosuk, 42, was traveling in the same direction, but had to quickly avoid colliding with the tour bus pulling out.
Expressing displeasure over the “sudden exit” from the side street, Uruphong resorted to using his helmet to shatter a window of the bus. He argued that larger vehicles should give way to smaller ones.
Pol Capt Chanita Bunyanuch of the Thalang Police soon arrived to resolve the dispute.
At last report, bus driver Thiraphong and motorbike ride Uruphong were both asked to join Capt Chanita at Thalang Police Station so she could further question both of them.
In the end, Uruphong was charged with causing damage to another person’s property.
