Samui "song thaew" driver agrees to pay foreigner's 6,000 baht hospital bill after fare "misunderstanding"

[TonyClifton 903]

 Let me guess, this double-digit IQ cretin got his forearms scraped by using them on the faces of the foreigners.  Why wasn't he put in the klink?  Why weren't his "mates" put in the klink with him?

He was grateful his mates came to save him from the two thai girls who were holding him...

What a man. Most likely their dates got attacked by him and the girls tried to back him off

knowing he'd lost his head. But then the 'us against them'm young thai male mentality kicked-in

and they just started kicking the foreigner who MUST be wrong since;  'Farang Bah.' 

 

Different day, same merde de toro.

Yeah, I hear the police fined the low-IQ cretins.  Who pockets that fine?

Oncemore again - for the Tourism Authority of Thailand:

The internet can be accessed worldwide and this story will make the round. Get your fellow countrymen to abide by the law, get the police to book the culprit and breathe down his neck properly. 
The hospital bill of B 6000 is one thing; Somchai has not learnt a lesson. Anywhere else he would be booked, license (if any at all) withdrawn and an official apology to the damaged parties. 

It amazes me how hopelessly stupid Khon Thai can be; after all it is their country and the customer has the choice.

Misunderstanding Thai style. Songtaew Driver tries a rip off, Customer not agree

An off-topic and irrelevant post has been removed from this thread.

 

The topic is about songthaew drivers, not motorcyc taxi drivers.

Look at the pic of the driver, both elbows scratched. Was he on his all fours? how else do you scratch both elbows?

At the ripoff price of 800 baht a fare, the payment of the 6000 baht hospital bill is probably about half a days work. So a relatively cheap way for the driver to save face. 

 

 

 

 

no he lost face by paying it ,, guilty as charged ''

He said that two Thai women then grabbed him by the arms so that the "farangs" could punch him. 

What Thai woman is going to grab and hold a Thai male so that "farangs" can punch him? Can't see this happening; very very unlikely.

There is a lot of talk here about "saving face".  Just how are you supposed to respond to a scam without making the perpetrator angry, other than paying whatever they ask for?

as per report, Wanchai Phoonsawat, 47.

I wouldn't call him a young Thai. Although to mant tvfers, he might be young.
