Explain to me how this mahout isn't just being used as a convenient scapegoat for the sins of an entire industry?
No need to reexamine the entire industry if you can pin it on one presumably not powerful man.
OK, you think the Mahut has no responsibility towards the customers

Im sure it's like a real life fairy tale up there, but Trudeau DID freeze bank accounts of poor people supporting the trucker protest. Turns out the truckers and supporters were right to not want to be forced to inject muck. He was an effeminate fascist. Good riddance.
You´re a Trump Groupie and call Trudeau a Fascist......hold my Beer

Dear Folks,
It’s back, the twice-per-second bleeping bird.
This bird makes a noise like the “warning sound” of a Japanese truck backing up.
Here where I am, this bird began beeping about a week ago. What does it actually look like, because this vocalization is one that is not so easy to locate, and I have never actually seen one.
So the question is, do you find the return of this bird a positive thing, and comforting, since it signals the return of the cool season?
Also, what is the evolutionary advantage of this weird sound for this particular bird?
Can it sing?
Or, does it only beep?
And, what about its young?
What do the chicks or hatchlings sound like?
Higher-pitched beeps?
And why don’t they have these birds in America, because I never heard one singing there when I grew up.
I timed the beeps this morning, and this bird beeps at the rate of two beeps per second. How does it know how to beep at exactly this rate? And, do the beeps ever speed up or slow down?
What about if the bird saw a snake approaching its nest, for example?
Would its beep-rate speed up like the beat of the human heart?
I don’t find this bird’s beeps annoying in the least.
Still, if I had about 20 of these bleeping birds in my yard, all simultaneously bleeping synchronously, a chorus of bleeping, then what? Have you ever experienced this?
Just wondering,
Gamma
No!

So, the driver asked for 570 baht for the journey.
Guest does not argue.
The guests were short of Thai money and offered 200 baht + some foreign currency.
Driver said no.
Guest said, please take us to currency exchange and we will change it for you.
Driver says OK - does not mention that the guests have to pay to go and change his money.
Hmm
I can understand why the guests are feeling a tad upset about this one.
Yes, a free Taxi Ride to go change foreign currency because the 2 Heroes not was able to provide Thaibaht in Thailand.....you are a Dreamer

I've always thought the charges for cleaning up vomit was 2000 baht... I can't remember where but I saw a sign suggesting that.
At 5000 baht, of course the taxi driver was trying to profit.
How much cleaning is required to clean a taxi of vomit so that it no longer smells, there is also the loss of income while the taxi is off the streets being valeted. It might even need new carpets etc.
I certainly don't want to get into a taxi that someone chunderred in the day before.
Is 5000 baht excessive ? - maybe, but I have no sympathy for the idiot who threw up.
The Taxi is maybe 1 Day out of order for cleaning. With an ozone air purifier the smell is gone after 1 hour!
