Many Bangkok taxis do have cameras.

The passenger slammed the car door in response to the driver's refusal to serve his group.

No. The passenger slammed the car door in response to the driver's refusal to serve his group.

Conditions that the drivers voluntarily accept, no one forces the job, or conditions, on them.

Many Grab vehicles are taxis. This type of incident generally does not happen because the destination and fare is agreed in advance and it will always be more than a normal taxi fare.

No foreign tourists involved in this, very isolated, unjustified incident that was provoked by the passenger.

From the OP... "The Bangkok Post reported that the attack left a wound more than 10 centimetres long on the face. The injured man told reporters that the gash required 32 stitches". Do you think that he did the 32 stitches himself?

That's not true, either. I didn't have to show anything except that required to open the wallet. Topping up from a Thai bank app is a standard facility. What are you asserting has to be produced in addition to normal wallet-opening procedures?

You're assuming, not presuming. Where was alcohol, never mind drunkenness, mentioned in the article?

You thought wrong.

...the GFM is asking for money "to support the family" also!

I was asking that question . What details have they given . I was asking a question, also. What details have they given?

...because he can do it at any 7-11!

That is not true. The wallet can be topped up with a payment from your bank, that's the only way I top up mine. What cannot be done by a foreigner is to directly link that bank account to the wallet.

What details have they given that makes it sound like a genuine tragic accident ? What details have they given that makes it not sound like a genuine tragic accident ?

And a wake ...and for airline tickets to, and hotel charges in Thailand!

The vendor doesn't incur that 3% fee for debit card purchases, either, only credit cards.

You don't, they're not issued in Thailand.

In the specific case reported in that link he was scammed by voluntarily responding to a dubious phone call, nothing to do with Revolut.

All that is provable fact, is it? Or just your opinion?

Does it? What is so "unexplained" about most of the deaths? Or, perhaps I missed your sarcasm as the "Bermuda Triangle" has also been confirmed to be a myth.

Or could there be conspiracy theories at play? What is "mysterious" about drownings or drug overdoses? Apart from the one disappearing girl that the OP references, which deaths have been "unexplained" as opposed to nothing more than "we don't like that explanation"? Perhaps the deaths that are determined to have been accidents were just accidents? Sad, indeed, but the family have not made any mention about any "mysterious" or "unexplained" circumstances in the case of the Irishman.

How does the opinion of some people regarding its reputation have anything to do with this incident that does not, apparently, seem to be causing any concern to the family?

They all also have a tendency "to light up every room they go into" and always "put others needs before their own".

It's not just for a funeral, it's for repatriation and a funeral in Ireland.
