If I flag a taxi and he winds down the window to ask where I want to go I don’t tell him but wave him on. Guaranteed he’ll whine about traffic or try to give me an inflated price. If I’m already in the car and he then gives me a price instead of turning on the meter I just get out. If he relents and says he’ll use the meter I get out anyway.

hope you do not get bashed up by some stupid taxi driver who had got up on the wrong side of the bed that day,

a taxi driver is required to turn the meter on.

please learn from these incidences. have caning as a punishment for such a behaviour.

I wouldn't go in a tuk-tuk (taxi) even if you paid me. Complete rip-off !

you can always settle your fare prior to commencement of the trip.lesser chance of problems that way.

Indeed it's only slightly worse having it stolen rather than having to exchange it.

no lessons learnt apparently, carrying that amount of money at that unearthly hour.

drunk carrying loads of money at 3.00am -nice combination for things to happen. when will tourists learn self protection principles.

I am left wondering what the people who he went to help did while he was getting the snot kicked out of him.  If I were this gentleman I would find and pay a few lads to rearrange the leg bones of the perpetrators at amusing angles.  When in Rome ....

two wrongs do not make a right. it is the laws of thailand that are too lax. barbarism like this should be punished by caning and i assure you that you will see positive results.

wrong place at the wrong time. what is this world coming to.

there is no place for samaritans.

All they have to do is unplug the router, or cut the internet connection to the building.

somebody sure knew a lot about this pensioner - the amount of money in the safe and how to disable the security equipment.

while we feel sorry for the pensioner a burning question comes to the mind. why did he keep such a big  amount at home rather than in a bank account from where he could have easily drawn down according to his needs.

very strange situation indeed.

Its just a simple case of credit card error .Obviously the restaurant isn't going to process a bill for quarter of a million baht. 

No big deal. Contact the card holder and adjust the bill.

Why do the Thai cops have to turn it into a three ring  circus?

All that's missing in the photo op is a good Samaritan taxi driver who found 200,000 b in the  cab left by the Indian who was out looking for the farang.

we call it "wayang" - theatrics

A poster who enjoys beatings.Especially administered to foreigners and loves talking about them.

 

Posts on every incident.So does a few of his mates.

Odysseus would you agree that a better response would be to let authorities handle such violators. talking the in individual hands is in itself a crime. two crimes cannot be right a wrong.

Nevermind the Chinese will continue to bring their millions.

Maybe just maybe! the Chinese with their group tours, all inclusive, money change group's and not giving a bhat to taxi drivers, motorbike taxi, street vendors, bars and bar girls is good for the Thai economic development and growth?

Or am I missing something?

try to beat a chinese tourist- they will all gang up on you and boycott your tourism.

another barbaric and cowardly act - so many against one - shame on you.

and there are so many childless couples who would do anything to have an issue. the idiot could have offered his child for adoption rather than ending up in a mess.

Yes... Thai's do it too.....  I've actually lost count of the amount of times I'm driving down the road and see a Thai chappy taking a leak - But, they usually make attempts to be far more discrete. 

 

It is the openness with which this man acted, peeing up someone else car. 

 

But, I see the 'Faux-Outrage' that it was a foreigner doing this, had it been a Thai it may not have made the news. To place this issue in a true Perspective...  A Thai Taxi driver can beat up a tourist and receive a 500 baht fine, but a tourist (American female) desperate for a Pee takes one on the street and is fined 4x that amount - IMO there represents a degree of imbalance between the manner in which Westerners and Thai's are viewed, reported on and charged.

 

Personally, I believe this guy should be penalized for his disgusting act - its the open brazenness for which he needs to be charged. If he is unable to find a bathroom he could have at least found somewhere more discrete. 

correct assessment of the situation.

He had good luck that they not beat his shit out of him for his pissing behaviour.....pee on a taxi lol.

schlog you are absolutely correct. there are many situations where such a result occurs. this guy got away cheap but he should be reported to authorities for his act.

I am not in favour of urinating in public, but some people, sometimes have a need to relieve themselves quickly.

The alternative could be pissing themselves in the pants.

I would like to ask the "gentleman" who has filmed the scene, would you prefer pissing yourself or pissing on the street ?

Is it more barbaric to publicly embarrass a human being for a pee, or the act of peeing itself ?

Let the foreign tourist offer a wai and pay for 3 buckets of tap water, end of.

sorry unable to support you. washroom facilities are a plenty in thailand. Assuming there was a an emergency, he should at least seek out a place away from public eye and do it discreetly. seen umpteen Indians doing it by the roadside - disgusting but they  try to do it without attracting undue attention.

I cannot believe my eyes - this foolish behaviour from a westerner no less.

Luckily there was no BAD END.Read of many such cases being set upon by a gang of thais. This person must be reported to the relevant authorities  for action.

What a shame.

a real low.see the colour of his feet.
