No! I go to Udon Thani & KK regularly and have never seen a MC taxi, Ubon I have never been too. "First time to Thailand" Thats incredibly amusing, for what it is worth I have been here 30 years & never seen a MC taxi in either KK or UT, if they are everywhere I sure have missed them! Have you ever been to any of the places you mentioned? if so, which I somehow doubt, where are all these MC taxis, or are u joking with me ?

It looks as though your the one that needs educating, casting a wide brush over children that (at present ) are illiterate,how do you know how they will turn out? Crystal Ball gazing?if they still couldn't read at driving age,they wouldn't be able to get a licence to drive a motor bike taxi!!! Have a look in Google and see some very rich people who succeeded over illiteracy, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A regular Thai taxi has legal seating capacity for 5 persons including the driver. 2 in front 3 in back. A Thai motorcycle taxi has legal seating capacity for 2 people, 1 of whom is the driver. With 3 on board he's open to a stop by the cops, the same way a taxi with 8 Thais crammed in is likely to get fined by the BIB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
