No brainer.....pay the amount and walk away.  Period. At the most a guy can be out $10 or so. Is it worth getting your ass beat with a baseball bat or motor taxi drivers jumping your ass for trying to beat the shit out of him?  Up to you. Always take a pic of the plate inside the car and when given a quote for anything, not that this was the case, have them write it on your hand. Problem solved. This goes for anything!! Always smile and be cool when you first get it. Say hello in Thai. I've never had a problem and never acted in a hurry.  Small talk means a lot too. Even a simple, " nice taxi.....chop chop will do it.

Yeah thats the way! Shut up, pay, dont complain.  Thats why you will always get crap service!

Write it on your hand??? <deleted>??? I'm having a guy round this weekend to quote for new kitchen units.  I will be sure to follow your advice and get him to write the quotation on my hand! 

Best advice?? Do as I did after 20 plus years of putting up with crap in Thailand, move to another country.

Barn door and horse come to mind.

very sad it happened and not his fault.but once again no travel insurance because he does not have a motorbike license.when will people learn

It is his fault! He rented a bike with no licence!

How do we know he wasnt swerving all over the place at, what was it? Oh yeah 4am in the morning!

That tells a story in itself.

Its not a sad story.  It's a story about a selfish guy who had no thought about renting a motorbike when he didn't have a licence. 

I wonder if the headline was ' No licence Aussie causes death of young child' people would be so forgiving.

Due to no licence his medical insurance is invalid and now his family are trying to sponge 300k to pay for his stupid and selfish act.

Go fund me is the new scroungers favourite site.

Anoogo in times square.

Hi 

I just msgd you. I arrive in bkk tomorrow. Have some robusto sized wooden cigar boxes if you want them. No charge but u need to collect. I will be staying near Emporium.

Please let me know.

Don't all gold shops have a policeman on duty in them? Where was he?

The taxi driver has found new employment as the pillion passenger on a motorbike that snatches handbags from tourists!

15 days and a 1000bht fine? bet he is shi@@ing himeself!

Anoogo is a printing shop in Times square sukhumvit. Vic the owner is on the 2nd floor, he is American and can sort out all your needs.

Those moaning on here about the Government should be grateful. Due to the Military coup there have been no 'dry days' due to elections!!!

If they had nothing to hide then why run?

Armed checkpoint, police tell you to stop, you stop simple as that. One had already been in jail for drugs also.

Only loser here? Tourism in Thailand. Just another case to highlight how primitive and lawless the country is. Mob rule.

'The event, now in its eighth year, will mobilise world-class experts to impart their knowledge on Thai teachers, educators and administrators from October 14-16.'

Which they will then ignore and continue with their rote system!

Katoeys..or are the hooters authentic?

The lady on the left is authentic. She is the mother of my good friends daughter, who is 14 years old.

The 14 year old daughter must be so proud!

2 corrupt country's and their officials can't decide how to split the tea money?

WOW!!!! This today, and just yesterday's news about the Thai husband who went berserk in a Samut Prakan mall and knifed his wife to death after she had told him to wanted to leave him.

And the news a week or so back about the teenage school girl who died after being beaten/abused by her jealous classmates.

A troubling picture of domestic life here in Thailand (not that LOS has any exclusive on these kinds of tragedies).

They must be Burmese. No Thai could ever harm another Thai!
