Photo: PLTO PHUKET:-- No action will be taken against the Phuket taxi driver who found himself at the centre of a media storm last week after a social media post by a Thai tourist went viral after reporting that the taxi fare amounted to B200 per kilometre. “Is it the normal rate. I thought I was in a taxi in a foreign country,” the woman wrote in a social media post on Dec 7. The post went viral and prompted Phuket Governor Narong Woonciew last Friday (Dec 11) to order local transport officials to respond.
