Due to the exponential number of idiotic and dangerous male drivers I have encountered, I tend not to allow Thai men to drive me anywhere.
I even use a woman driver taxi service to the airport and around Thailand if necessary.
Unfortunately, if I use Bolt or Grab locally, and for short trips, it cannot always be avoided.
The last Bolt I got in Pattaya was a Thai man with a beat-up old Toyota from the 90's who appeared to be high on drugs and kept talking to himself.
