A Russian man has been arrested for illegally operating a vehicle rental business with one Honda motorbike on Koh Phangan.

Tourist police led local police and officials to detain Danil Kulnevnich, 21, at a pier on Koh Phangan on Tuesday. They seized from him a Honda Forza 300 with a Bangkok licence plate.

Police were acting on information that some foreigners on Koh Phangan were working illegally, renting out vehicles through social media platforms.

One Facebook user, Danil Vishnya, was found to have posted a message on the “Phangan Bike and Car Rent & Sale” Facebook page offering a Honda Forza for rent at 10,000 baht a month. 

He was charged with working without a permit and handed over to local police for legal action.
