Best example of NOT getting farang taxed

Nice one, op. I've come across those types (snobbish, uncaring wives of Thais) when 'out in the field' and being looked after by humble Thai chaps. Really wished you'd have taken the 100 back though. I know it goes against the grain and you want to show your appreciation, but try to look at it from the view of the guy.

I had a slow puncture and took my car to B-Quik.

They immediately drove the car to the hydraulic ramp. Whisked the car up. 

Check the tyres and found a screw.

They removed the screw, stabbed the wheel to clean the puncture, then stabbed in a bung and inflated the tyre. 

All done in 5 mins.

 

They wouldn’t accept payment.

Seancbk, this story says a lot about your own attitude, modest, friendly, not haughty, not pretentious, or giving advice...


And in return, the person goes out of way to make you happy.


It is Thailand that I know and experience on a daily basis. You too, certainly.

 

Thanks. I've been living in Bangkok 12 years and yes it is my experience on a daily basis too.

I was pleasantly surprised MEA gave the farang the recent bill reductions.  i do wonder if they didn't have the know-how to identify the foreign owned accounts, but it was generous.

 

What about Thai owned accounts that are paid by Farangs?  I get my landlady's bill and pay it direct to the MEA. 
As far as they are concerned they are delivering power to a Thai and being paid by a Thai. 

However, why wouldn't they just give all customers the reduction.  I can't see why you'd be surprised by that.

why do you want to pay when it is free since Bquik exist ?

and don't worry, it is actually not free when knowing that any service at Bquik is overpriced compared to what it should be. They clearly have enough profit even when giving this very small gift that costs them nothing.
