A Thai man who threatened a family with a gun after he tried to reverse and park on a main road in Rayong has sparked an online debate.
What is better and more likely to get a result? Going to the police or putting your experience on Facebook and forcing the police to act?
Poster Ken Thanakorn Phuthai was in no doubt - for him he said it was a waste of time to go to the police station; better to shame the police into activity by going on social media, he commented.
In this case the dash cam footage soon reached Thai Rath national TV.
In the footage a Thai man tries to reverse into a parking spot but his way is blocked by a family in a car legitimately using the inside lane themselves.
Angry, the man emerges from the car with what the presenters said was a gun retrieved from his belt. He then threatens the family with the words:
"Do you want a bullet?"
The license plate is clearly visible prompting the presenters to suggest that it should be easy for the police to act in this case.
The incident occurred near a Lotus store in downtown Rayong in Thailand's eastern seaboard.
