it could have been a deliberate run-around (same scam all around the world)
or slurred speech from the passenger
either way it was probably only a $ or 2, now it's $10k++

victim says he charged 10 dollar for ride. Next paragraph wanted extra for being lost/confused. Not only is the initial 10 dollars a triple charge minimum, but driver wants even more for confusion directions? Not saying driver deserves a beating but... If this foreigner paying 10 dollars for a ride at 2 am and probably obviously drunk the driver thinks he's found "a live one".... Brit could easily raised his voice after the 2am tour through siem reap when he might know he paying too much initially just being generous now feels ripped off and pissed...all the horror stories of police antics, ect, and now the failed drug test is the gospel? I'm not saying he's innocent but I'd hesitate to send him to the gas chambers just yet public opinion wise.... This guy gotta history of meth and violence in his own country? If so says a lot.... Pretty big guy to feel he had to take the first punch assuming average sized Kilmer....unless he surrounded ect.... But maybe he blacked out drunk and guilty as charged. Little bit risqué 2am under the influence out and about... Condolences to mom, Hang in there if you can probably fly here quickly and hopefully son has some local Kilmer aquitances to help you navigate a little for a fee .... Sad to see its so high profile now but he has no chance without paying question how much quicker the better every day means something now price wise... Passapp not a bad option Fer sure

Tuk Tuk says he was paid $10 - nowhere in SR is $10. I once had a flat bicycle tire nobody could fix about 22km from town. I offered a tuk tuk $10 for me and the bike back to my guesthouse which was down in Wat Damnak, he was more than happy to accept that, I felt it a fair price. I doubt this guy was going to be going 20km. I don't defend or condone the violence but this greedy tuk tuk driver should have been delighted with his $10 con and not pushed it further. Another reason just to use grab and passapp
