I know that but Thats Thailand... Its still a lot cheaper that Paris for a cab, over your earning per year....
Taxis are great value in Bangkok compare to most Capital Cities around the world, Stop complaining and give the next airport taxi - Good driver a Good Tip.
sure. We should make sure that they're paid the same as they would be in the West.
My car got clamped (shouldn't have been).
How much is the fine in your own country? I was asked at the station.
I don't know, I said. I've lived here for 10 years.
Well, it's 700b in France, so I'll fine you 700b.
Okay.
Seemed strange.
Kind of like the idea that taxis in Thailand are cheaper than many places, so we should tip them with lots of cash.

The last Taxi I got in Bangkok was my trip home, me and my GF, the taxi driver didn't charge us as he was having a great day as his previous customer gave him a big tip!

Since moving back home since last Christmas, I can say I am enjoying the western food and the Euro, dont miss Thai food, but do i miss the sun and the easy going lifestyle, and the non judgmentally, friendly Thai people.

Do many people have accidents taking motorbike taxis?
I have used them a few times, very fast and rather scary.
Are they known to be somewhat risky?
Yes there risky, GF was on a motorbike taxi accident, factored ribs, bruises, lucky nothing serious. After 3 years in Bangkok I have kinda stopped using them altogether. Safer in a Taxi cab... A/C etc.

Stand away from the road an get your Thai friend to stop the cab, when agreed jump in with your Thai friend always works, and the Thai driver tricks, otherwise don't get a taxi at shopping center, tourist places... If you have to walk away further down the road from where the taxi's are stopped and stop a moving taxi works every-time...
Surely any new visitors to Bangkok do not know these silly little games you have to play, just to get an honest taxi fare from A to B. They probably, also, would not be wedged up with 20 baht notes like the TV experts, and would expect the correct change from a higher denomination note ?
Its Bangkok and you nor I will every change how these greedy and needy Taxi drivers who target Foreigners, Smart up or Pay Up.

I have heard that there are companies on facebook that pay people to click like, but actually selling a facebook profile or group I somehow doubt is legal, considering that the page belongs to facebook and is not a commercial website with a personal domain.
I suggest reading the facebook terms and conditions or contacting them first. Obviously if someone is willing to pay to take over a group, then that would be a strictly private affair between all parties.
You could sell it privately to someone in that Business and transfer the admin to the buyer. Digital marketing is massive and a massive cost, so I am sure you will get a sale or monetize it yourself?
Car rental companies or other Affiliate will pay to to advertise on your FB group.
Example: avis.com/car-rental Affiliate program...

Several of my rights.
There is no mistake that you have some much more rights and better services in your western home country. No matter the country, foreigners are treated different.

A home-grown American mentality girlfriend, as especially one who can (at least) dance the two-step
The perfect hybrid women, I have seen some beautiful Thai/Farang, and Chinese/Farang women in Thailand. Thanks to some of the Farang from the 60's lol
I reiterate. A home-grown American mentality girlfriend. Capiche?
O yes, I understand, i used to live an work in NYC between the ages of 17 - 26 and Europe. The women in NYC are the most beautiful I have been with as its a mix of the best of America.

Seasons (Fall, Winter, Spring, and Summer). I get pretty tired of it being HOT 24/7 here.
The other thing I really miss is the selection of cars I have or can get in USA. I miss having a car with a powerful engine for a daily driver, and I miss being able to build my race car.
Best four seasons I had was NYC Hot in Summer, Snow in Winter, beautiful Autumn in Up State New York. Thailand for a long Holiday when it gets cold.

"Fish n chips", with a liberal coating of salt n vinegar, eaten from the wrapper,
followed by a "Greggs" Custard slice.
Can't beat fish n chips with loads of salt n vinegar wrapped in old style paper with Tartar sauce or mushy peas, I used to work in a fish an chip shop during the summer months, was one of the most enjoyable jobs ever... its was in a small fishing village in Ireland, a tourist hot spot.. Fried calamari rings mm.. deep fried Dublin bay prawns..

I was going to say Taco Bell, but I cook at home. Then I thought about sweet, pretty pink nipples, but I remembered they usually come attached to a whack job.
I pick Racer 5 beer.
Good reply! Had a good laugh at that one. Still I like the pink Nipple too. It brings back good memories
