legend49 Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 banning him driving is useless as no Thai follows the law. Same as taking away his taxi licence. Maybe an incentive is to crush the taxi at the wreckers and make him clean other taxis for a year give him time to think how stupid he was. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hioctane Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 This is why taxi drivers should be fined for refusing to turn on meters. It is why I hate them and will use Grab even if there is a metered tax right in front of me.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did he pay back the 200 k he robbed that previous passenger? And is he paying back the 2 Koreans? hospital bills the phones he took? etcetc Why does he still have a license to drive a taxi? Why does his company continue employing him? Why has the company not been questioned about their employment procedures? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thailand49 Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 I don't like saying this because my son is Thai but today I'm having one of those "This is Thailand " moments. In general, and you will never be able to get this point across to them because they are just so proud of their country that there isn't anything really wrong it is just us Farang bashing them. The system or total just total lack of their education system seems to spills over to their leaders and the BIB which is the reason this guy wasn't already in jail. The excuses they come up with makes it hard to not notice! You can't make this stuff up as to how stupid they think and being as such I would suggest Thai men are just too stupid to be criminals. ????️♂️ If I was this stupid I kill myself! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They won't feel quite so good, however, if they were to stick around Thailand and later find out that the taxi driver probably will get off with a slap on the wrists, and probably won't even have his taxi license revoked...despite being a criminal And if they're really unlucky, they'll probably meet him again driving the same taxi on their next trip to Thailand!

connda Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 (edited) 7 hours ago, scorecard said: So what punishment did the taxi driver get? You, Farang, will never ever know. It will never be published. Example: What ever happen to the puuyai Piset Nakhaphanworking who worked for the NATIONAL Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) working at Chang Wattana who cut off a taxi driver who then had the audacity to horn his horn ...then Mr. Special stops his Honda, gets out and aims a gun at the driver - all caught on camera. The guy, according to Thai press, lost his position (transferred?) but after that - who knows. Criminal charges. <laughs> Only for the little people. But, correct me if I'm mistaken. But that case, like this case - will disappear. So, don't expect to hear about this taxi driver either. Thailand must save face at any costs.

Captain 776 Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 My daughter is a Stewardess for Japan Airlines. Every time BEFORE she gets in the Taxi, takes a pic of license plate. Once in the Taxi takes the pic of his ID and license number and makes sure the driver face matches the I D. THEN she send that info in Line and calls us and we talk to her until she gets out of the Taxi. Many stories of cabbies raping women and doing other things. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bander Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 "Meanwhile it has emerged that this was not the first time Thanadech had stolen from a passenger." Multiple theft from passengers and still have his Taxi license. How about take his driver license, taxi licence and anything that can make him commit another crime against tourists? If I know the BIB's right they give him another 500 bath fine and a slap on his wrist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a new trend among almost every taxi and tuk-tuk drivers in Thailand, beat up and steal from foreigners. (by my experience worst in Bangkok, Phuket, Chiang Mai and Pattaya) Worst nightmare when you travel around in Thailand by bus, train or airplane, at the destination you will need a Taxi or tuk-tuk. That's why I bought a car long time ago, for my own safe transportation around in Thailand. Keep the speed limit, valid driver license and tax sticker on the windshield, no hassel with the police. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMSIII Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 (edited) What a POS! Again....Just wonder if the cops actually did real police work. I always laugh to myself when they make their comments about us western guys guys, knowing that these scrawny weak excuses for a man could never make it in our world. Continued embarrassment for Thai's and Thailand! Could you imagine the effect on these people, if all tourist stopped coming for just one year. Just think how fast it would actually become the land of smiles again... Edited June 8, 2019 by JMSIII add Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
