Top Thai actress opts for Uber after being tossed out of Bangkok cab

 

Picture: Thai Rath

 

A top Thai actress decided to call Uber after being told to get out out of a Bangkok cab, reported Thai Rath.

 

Ann Thongprasom was with a friend near the Jao Phor Seua shrine downtown when she got her marching orders.

 

The story was reported without further detail on Instagram by a woman called Saritasuporn.

 

But it didn't seem overly serious - both women were seen smiling in pictures.

 

Ann is one of the most recognizable faces in Thailand.

Why they called in the medics?

Very interesting, but when do you write the story? Facts? What happened, why, when... Just a little bit of journalism.

Top Thai actress? .........What? No Benz???

[Peterw42]

Wow, You cant buy publicity like that. Or can you ?

Good for them.  Dealing with Thai taxis is either a good experience or a sheer pain in the back side.  Options keep bad people in line.

Really punishing taxi drivers consistently with undercover civil servants enforcing the law would be a good thing too. Consistent enforcement is the only way to get a better quality of taxi driver. Sure uber is nice.. but AFIK not legal.

What a wonderful investigation! Can't wait for season 2

Good story as it is an example  you that you don’t have to get upset or angry when you feel slighted or things don’t go according to your plan. Go with the flow and smile.  Peace.

Ann who?

She's one of the leading TV lakorn actresses over the past decade or two.

 

These days, I think she's doing more producing and not so much acting as she's obviously gotten older...

 

But every Thai person alive would know her face and just by the name of "Ann."

Who needs details ?...It is notorious that the Thai taxi drivers or tuk tuks,  are in majority a bunch of cheats who fully deserve the bashing they got from Uber ! 

[richard_smith237]

There is no context in this story at all... I wonder what she got 'kicked out' of the taxi for ?

 

I too have been asked to 'get out' of taxi's for no apparent reason. Its as if the driver has had a change of mind and decided he no longer wishes to take me to my destination.... One driver waived down another taxi for me, another simply left my Wife and I on the side of the road in an unlit area (at night) where we had difficulty getting another taxi... 

 

Its very annoying... 

 

I've spent in excess of 700 baht today for our Nanny to use UBER and Grab (to collect her work Permit renewal) because we just don't trust Taxi's get her to her destination and back safely. 

 

The best advertisement for UBER and GRAB in Bangkok is the Taxi service !!! that said, we in Bangkok are spoiled compared to other cities in Thailand - that I am thankful for and in the interests of balance, not all Taxi's are bad, in fact most aren't - I had a lovely chat with a Taxi driver a couple of nights ago... however, its the probability of an unpleasant experience which encourages the use of far more reliable alternatives...

You are absolutely right. But don't expect much of this website. They are not journalists. They just use to pick stories from the real journalists.

Pray leave the Tuk turds out of this discussion and stay on point bashing taxi drivers!

[Saan]

How much did that pay Uber.

Ads should be called that and not posed as journalism.

As mentioned in an earlier reply, hugely popular actress here among the Thais. Streets ahead of the rest of the lakorn pack when it comes to talent too.
