Khun Paul 1,515 Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Shows comp0late lack of concern for the Tourist that supplies approximately 15-20% pf Thai GDP. Why be polite to them TELL them to sort it or their licences will be withdrawn for LIFE !! That is of course if they have any that is !! Link to post Share on other sites
spidermike007 37,840 Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 What he is saying, is that we acknowledge that the taxi mafia is more powerful than the local authorities, the toy police and the army. So, rather than try to enforce the laws, let's just ask please can you do what is right and fair? Never gonna happen. Weak authorities will aways be treated as such. Link to post Share on other sites

PingRoundTheWorld 1,725 Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Amazing that they actually have to be ASKED not to do things that are <deleted> common sense in any civilized society.

BestB 12,707 Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 What I do not get is the contradictions . on one hand authorities asking for thais to stop attacking foreigners and to be good hosts , on the other hand immigration is verbally raping foreigners, hardly welcoming so it’s either good hosts or not ?
