Nothing unusual about taxi drivers blocking another for trying to skip the Que (this does not appear to be Uber v Taxis). First driver gets the next fare, no point in "ranking up" otherwise. PS. In a previous life I drove a Taxi for 28 yrs. on and off. "In previous life" Buddhist Taxi Driver with recall? , "On & off", Meter?

I have complained to City Hall many times about this practice. When you ask the Driver ... why you don't use the Meter - they just laugh at you!!! However, in other places in Thailand (Korat for example) they turn on the meters automatically - even for a Farang...... but in Pattaya - the Taxi Mafia is "UNTOUCHABLE"????? ... and can Rip-OFF People with impunity??

Hong Bong Dynasty Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 the real question should be asked, "Is Pattaya's Police department the worst and most corrupt in Thailand?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
