khunbillmex Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Has anyone heard of this? My wife's sister after living a dozen years in the States has returned to BKK. On two occasions over the last year she thinks a taxi driver is using some 'gas' via the aircon system to put her to sleep and then take advantage of her/rob her/whatever. Both occurances have taken place during the day in taxis out of Swampy - the most recent one was two days ago after she arrived back in BKK from Phuket.

rocketboybkk Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Pathetic Was she kicked out of US for being crazy? Maybe it's a dream? Maybe she was tired & fell asleep Maybe she shagged the taxi driver & now feels guilty she crying rape Maybe she's not telling the truth.

NanLaew Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 I recall a local news item some time in the past year where a Bangkok taxi driver had been suspected of gassing passengers. I can't recall if he was actually apprehended and punished though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocketboybkk Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 How is he gassing people if he's in the taxi. Is he immune? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It remains as unlikely now as it did then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richard_smith237 Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 A friends Wife has claimed the same... that she has felt sleepy in a taxi... After pointing out that the taxi driver would also fall asleep if she were being gassed she was convinced there is some way the driver is gassing her only. You can't re-educate stupid... this has been a long running urban myth... its not possible that after a busy day (or journey) someone sitting on the sunny side of the car starts to feel a little sleepy... some people are just plain dumb when it comes to issues such as this.
