Titan1962 Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 Tuk Tuk driver in Chiang threatening grad driver with tourists in the car. Taxi drivers in Bangkok doing as they please. Mini van drivers fighting at bus terminals in rayong. Not really the image Thailand wants the rest of the world to see,especially with the downturn in the tourism and things could get worse if the GFC hits. years ago these things wouldn’t be seen by the millions of people around the world,but now with Facebook,YouTube and various other forms of media, It can be posted and seen instantly,this can only do harm. Its a shame,Thailand has so much to offer,but this we do not need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a shame,Thailand has so much to offer,but this we do not need. "Taxi drivers in Bangkok doing as they please. " Agree with that one, in the Ramkhanhaeng / lat Prao area it's gone back to the situation of 5 or more years ago, most taxis lock their doors and wind down the passengers window and demand to know your destination (illegal) then rudely yell back a grossly inflated fare. Even 1 or 2 kilometer journey they often demand 200Baht. A week back a driver refused to let a policemans' wife (uni professor) get out until she added 100Baht to the fare. She pressed the emergency button on the door pillar but nothing happened. The lady secretly videos the whole thing and gave it to her policeman husband. The police tracked down the cab and discovered the emergency button has never been wired. Driver and car owner both fined 5,000Baht and drivers license cancelled for 1 year. Notices with photos and car reg. no put on many notice boards at the uni. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A diet of rice leads to higher levels of oestrogen, lethargic and days lives, and sitting on your arse as a driver all day, doesn't exactly prepare one for 12 rounds with Tyson ????
