BANGKOK — On Tuesday night, taxi driver Suthee Inthorn was driving his passenger from Pattaya to Suvarnabhumi Airport to catch his flight back to Japan.

 

To his horror, Suthee said, he only realized when he arrived at the airport that the Japanese tourist was had been left behind at a roadside restroom he stopped to use earlier in the trip – some 100 kilometers away.

Old Suthee, about as sharp as a ping pong ball!

Viroj said Suthee allegedly made a toilet stop in Bang Pakong district, then got on his car and drove away without realizing Yuzuke had also gone to the restroom.

Would still have been worth a look to the rear compartment

Daily dose of Thai Taxi Comedy Capers. lol

It's a pretty funny story really. Not for our Japanese friend at the time of course, but it does have a happy ending.

 

And who doesn't like a happy ending ?

 

Perhaps the driver has learned a lesson here. Always count your passengers if you stop somewhere.

 

ummmm ..... one ..... ok, that's about right. Let's go.

 

oh, one more thing. Does anyone have a recent photo of the Suvarnabhumi taxi rank that you can give to TV ? 2009 file photo ?

Let's just hope Yuzuke doesn't get an extortion email from Frenchie for spoiling the good image of Thai taxi drivers.

So at no point in the 100km did the taxi driver look i the rear view mirror. 

 

I am assuming the the Japanese man wasn't a midget.

 

just proves what we all know they never use their ***** mirrors, he he

Where had he been previously, in the trunk?

It's a strange reflective device used for doing their hair and picking their face.

Taxi drivers only use their rear view mirrors for popping their zits.

If it was a lady passenger his mirror would have been zoomed in on her crotch and immediately missed.

He's a Thai driver. Look in the rearview mirror? Heaven forbid.

The article just about says it all

Another wonderful ThaiTaxi driver, apparently high on some nice opiates !!!

 

What a moron....his taxi licence should be revoked on the spot and he should be banned from driving a taxi for the rest of his life.  I'm to harsh here ? What if it was you who got dumped on the highway loo ?....you would surely not appreciate such Thai Taxi stupidity....another lovely image of Thailand to be exported to Japan this time.

I once had this Japanese geezer in the back of the cab and ... er ...?
