And he should be required to remove any objects in the taxi that are related to the Great Teacher or other revered personages. The driver is the lowest of the low...A thief by deception.

He was fined 1,000 baht for each of two offences - making a contracted journey without the meter and taking a circuitous route. 

Is it absolutely ridiculous, 2,000 Baht for a lack of respect for its customers?
It can only be a bad joke, how do you hope these criminals stop doing what they want?

How about for taxi drivers like that. For the next number of months number according to how many 100 or 1000 of baht try to scam they have to work for free. They can not accept any money and they get a wrap put on their car that says this cab is free.

Petchburi came out sounding like Cholburi?  What’s the cabbie’s explanation?

I once hailed a taxi to the Sheraton Heathrow only to be taken to another Sheraton near Heathrow and ended up paying a bit more but that was an innocent mistake.

Is is possible that because the two destinations mentioned -- Chonburi and Petchburi -- have a "buri" as part of the name, that this may have been a case of PH accent related confusion?

 

Or, the taxi driver was just a flat out crook, and it's merely a coincidence that the two mentioned destinations sound a bit similar?

 

 

Why not take them to Saraburi then?
