When I saw the scene it bothered me knowing that most of these guys are scrambling to bring enough money home for themselves and their families so that they may eat and pay the bills. Not easy making a living being a Thai, at least when I worked regular I received good money. These poor bastards put up with all this shit for peanuts. Well, they could find a job that pays better. There is little unemployment in Thailand. And perhaps if they had paid attention in school and tried to learn something and get some qualifications..... I doubt these nice chaps were model students. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taximeter drivers are authorised by Pattaya Police not to use their meters & charge whatever they like. I don't know the correct price from Pattaya to Jomtien we paid 500 baht one way and of course 500 back again and no I did not hire the taxi my lady friend rang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the other hand it beats working for a living. If they can rip off a few tourists a month and get away with it it will up the income. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where? this is what I call a clean beach and it is not in Thailand In the south have many. Last year we go Thong nai pan. Perfect, you should go if you like clean and natural. Also phangna west coast have a lot. Water is clean. In Pattaya have the feaces. Farang feaces, iNdian feaces, thai feaces, Chinese feaces, Russian feaces. I don’t want to swim in that. Good luck.

oldrunner Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 My wife and I use our regular driver (he is a registered taxi driver but leaves his post when he is appointed to us). We either go with him or we don't go at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sawadeeken Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 BRING BACK THAKSIN...... As bad as he was..... All the while he was filling his pockets..... The Thai people had better lives...... Now, with this presen govt..... Only the Army and a few 'HiSo' folks are prospering..... while the others, working folks, farmers, and generally all Issan poor folks (90% of the Thai population) are totally forgotten and starving...... This govt only thinks about the #1.... Military............... and #2 the Rich Folks......... Forgetting all the others............. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
