The bustling metropolis of Bangkok is a city full of surprises, but for one unsuspecting delivery rider, it turned into a perplexing puzzle cage. Imagine the hustle and bustle of a food delivery rider’s life, zooming through the vibrant streets of Bangkok, only to be trapped behind not just one, but two formidable fences, at a customer’s enigmatic house. That’s precisely the curious conundrum our LINE Man delivery rider, identifiable as @ice_23648 on TikTok, found himself embroiled in.
What started as a routine delivery turned into an intriguing ordeal, recorded and shared to the bewilderment of many on social media. On the fateful day of March 24, the rider navigated his way to the customer’s abode, neatly cloistered behind a resplendent white fence in the bustling Kannayao district, only to encounter a mysterious silence as his initial call went unanswered. With steely determination and a sprinkle of luck, he finally succeeded in coaxing the customer into opening the gate, allowing him entry into what became a labyrinth of locks and latches.
Intrigue grew as yet another impediment appeared in the form of a locked brown fence. It was as though he had stumbled into a real-life escape room challenge. In accordance with the mysterious homeowner’s instructions, he meticulously placed the retrieved food order on the door and prepared to exit the locked maze. But to his misfortune, the walls of captivity closed shut once more, effectively trapping him in a customer creation of confounding confusion. Left with no recourse, he had to cancel an impending order, thereby choosing the path of patience until he was liberated by a serendipitously timed car arrival. “Thank goodness for that Alphard!” he mused silently.
In a twist worthy of the most puzzling whodunit, this particular house was reputedly known among the rider community for its propensity to turn delivery professionals into temporary captives. The house’s notoriety was the talk of the TikTok town, as other riders flooded @ice_23648’s comment section with tales of their own trials and tribulations. The charming but enigmatic locale, entrenched in Soi Ram Indra 83, had reportedly made prisoners of late-night food couriers and left them tapping in vain at the digital fortress of LINE Man’s customer service for assistance.
One valorous rider recounted an hour-long rain-soaked entrapment, beseeching the powers-that-be to banish the location from delivery lists—a plea that unfortunately went unanswered. Another shared a tale steeped in suspense, being detained long past twilight until the witching hour. With the volume of reports as high as the fences themselves, the eerie estate has become a poignant point in rider folklore.
Speculations ran wild! Was the elusive homeowner strategically orchestrating these bizarre brouhahas for hidden amusement, or was it all but a series of unfortunate accidents in which fancy gate controls wreaked unintended havoc? Only she among the mysterious walls may hold the truth.
In the end, what could have become an explosive escapade simmered down to simmering discontent at the local police station. Legal quandaries and numbing bureaucracy left our hero rider clutching straws of frustration as he pondered the enigmatic episode.
As we sip our lattes and scroll through memes, spare a thought for the daring delivery riders who not only ferry culinary delights but occasionally become unwilling participants in Bangkok’s curious chronicles. There’s a takeaway meal, and then there’s the great takeaway escape. Bon appétit and safe travels to all!
This is why I refuse to deliver to certain areas in Bangkok! It’s not worth the risk of being trapped.
Exactly! Some places should just be blacklisted for everyone’s safety.
But isn’t it the responsibility of the delivery company to ensure rider safety? It’s not fair to put the onus on riders.
Come on guys, part of the adventure of being a rider is facing unexpected challenges!
There’s adventure and then there’s being trapped like a mouse! Not everyone finds that fun, Ollie.
There has to be a law against this! People shouldn’t set up their homes like mazes.
@Chloe maybe it’s time for strict regulations on such properties. How can this happen repeatedly?
Good luck enforcing that in Bangkok! A labyrinth of bureaucratic red tape will just create more confusion.
Seems more like a funny story than a real issue. Lighten up everyone!
Funny until it happens to you, Pete. Imagine being stuck there at night or during a storm. That’s terrifying!
Reminds me of an escape room, but without the excitement and with double the anxiety.
Is it really the house or just careless homeowners? Maybe its just faulty gate mechanisms being misunderstood.
I’d say it’s both, Kyle. If you know your gate is notorious, fix it! Don’t leave riders guessing.
Sounds like a job for home automation! Imagine a simple phone app controlling each gate with alerts.
This house has become legendary among us drivers. I once told a newbie to avoid it like the plague.
It’s so sad seeing riders treated like this. They’re just trying to do their job.
To those who say it’s no big deal, picture yourself there with a raging storm. Would you still think it’s humorous?
I hope the company steps up and does something about these problematic locations.
Visited Bangkok numerous times, and it never fails to surprise. Might take a drive to see this infamous house next trip!
Shouldn’t the delivery app have some sort of warning system in place for repeated incidents?
Honestly, life itself can feel like a trap sometimes. At least this guy got a story out of it!
A story sure, but some stories are better when they happen to someone else!
This could be a good premise for a thriller movie!
Perhaps the homeowner enjoys the intrigue, keeping a watchful eye on riders as they navigate his domain.
I hope something is done soon before something bad actually happens.
