Police in Buriram apprehended two men who caused a disturbance at a roadside restaurant and subsequently lay down in the middle of the road while intoxicated.
On November 15, 2026, police from Ban Bua Station in Buriram province responded to reports of a public disturbance near the intersection leading to Phanom Rung Historical Park. According to Khaosod Online, two men, estimated to be between 45 and 55 years old, were found lying on the road after allegedly harassing customers at a local restaurant. Concerned residents had placed chairs around the men to prevent them from being struck by passing vehicles. Upon arrival, officers found the individuals in a highly intoxicated state, unable to communicate clearly and claiming connections to influential local figures. One of the men stated they had traveled by motorcycle from Ta Phraya District in Sa Kaeo province, admitting to consuming alcohol throughout their journey before losing memory of their actions upon reaching the restaurant. The police transported both men to the Ban Bua police station to sober up and face further questioning. For travelers and residents, this incident highlights the risks associated with impaired driving and public intoxication in rural areas. While the immediate danger was mitigated by local intervention, the full extent of their actions and potential legal consequences remain under investigation by local authorities.
