Taxi Drivers

[petedk]

This has happened to both myself and some of my friends.

After getting into a taxi the driver proceeds to clean the air condition vents and sprays them with a "cleaning spray".

A few minutes later the passengers begin to feel sick and dizzy. I sensed something was wrong and told him to stop as I had to use an ATM to get money. I threw 50 baht at him and got out.

Apparently his window was open so he wasn't affected by the spray.

Anyone else know of similar events.

This is noted to happen quite frequently in the later evening hours.

They spray it and the passengers pass out.

The kabbie will stop,preform un-natural and perverted sex acts upon the passengers,usually while a vidio cam is running for later sale to porn shops.

And then the unsuspecting fare's eventually come to laying on the sidewalk or along side the road,with a sore ass and no money or credit cards.

So beware.

Seems that I have been missing out on something.

Where can I get one of these cabs?

I have been using cabs here for around 15 years (ok, so I am a newbie) and I have never had this experience.

I don't discount that it happens though. If it's a scam that has been invented it will be found in Thailand.

It might be a can of knockout spray. The producers of Batman and Robin in the 70's manufactured this, but had a huge surplus left over. It was used to keep the location of the batcave a secret when they were bringing service girls in and out.

This inevitably found itself on the black market in Thailand many years later.

Maybe it's done before the driver himself becomes sick a few minutes after picking up certain funky smelling passengers

[OxfordWill]

hah hah hah..

That reminds me of a time when I got one of those "No have change" cabbies who tried to charge me for the Air Con, and only gave up when I started writing down his taxi number.

I do hope that the meter's not running while all this is happening!

Now, if he were to spray it on his nipples first, then you should be worried....

If the driver's window is down, he'll get it, too, as everything being sucked out will pass by his nose...

Many years ago, I had a piece of the 'Grey Rabbit' hippy bus company in the States. On our busses, cigs were not allowed, but joints were. The driver only needed to open his small side window to get a buzz off all the escaping smoke..

Did you happen to be out of Frisco?

I knew a gal named JOE that had an ol man named TOM and she was involved with GREEN TURTLE and had a home at Harbin Hot Springs up in Lake Copunty.

Fact I stayed a few times at their home. Kinda different being around where most folks don't wear cloths.

You know, you can only call it Frisco if yer' from there

You are correct, sir. I'm an Old Hippy from San Francisco, bottom line.

I knew Joe very well (knew Tom, but not well) for a period of perhaps 12 years in the 70's-80's. One of the nicest, truest, most honest people I've ever had the pleasure to know. Certainly a Nature Girl. I was pretty shy, but I still could enjoy the scene. At that time, she was working for green tortoise doing some driving, accounting, and sort of a right hand man of the owner of green tortoise, a very interesting guy and good friend/co-worker of mine, too.

Green Tortoise http://greentortoise.com came after the Grey Rabbit. I was among a loosely-knit group of folks who started the alternative travel scene using Gryhound Diesel coaches (4801's for any bus freaks) around 1973, mostly along the west coast with twice-weekly round trips between Berkeley and Seattle for $13 each way. Soon they expanded out to Baja, Mardis Gras, coast to coast, Alaska, Mexico...Man, what an incredible scene then. Lots of young European travellers along with grandmothers and Nature Folks. Still the best way to see America if you want an organized 'tour'. Even if you don't like tours or tourist stuff, you still might enjoy green tortoise because they tend to go to places that other tourists aren't at, like a beautiful natural hotspring with nobody around for miles and mles, or an isolated beach in Baja....

Sorry for the long wind. Nice memories for me. Thanks for the chance

Ajarn; I met her thru a gal I knew,I was at middletown at an AA meeting and met this girl,I was living on a cruising Sailboat that I was just kinda sailing around and came in from Hiwaii and sailed up the bay and into pittsburg and was waiting for a dregding job to open,went up to an AA meeting and ended up at Joe and Toms house,Joe had just had a baby a few weeks before if I remember,I think that was 86, The gal I had met was named Anne and we ended up gettin together for a couple of years,she liked the sailboat as long as we were in calm water,but went ape if the wind came up to much. I have worked a few marine type jobs around the bay and was stationed at Alameda and Sausalito and farallon Island Light when I was in the USCG.

[Ajarn]

Kevin, I grew up in Marin, and you lived the dream I had as a kid there. What a great way to live, I still think

Where you ever a part of the Gate 5 community in Sausalito?

[KevinN]

Ajarn; I don't think so,While in sausalito,I was stationed on the 95327 Patrol Boat at the COE dock on the north edge of town and right across the hyway into town was a gueer bar,The Flamingo, We did our drinking down town at the Gold Chip or The Little Willow.or a lot of the time we went over to Frisco,It was a nice town in 1959,I wouldn't even think of going to chinatown anymore,last time I was there was in 68,stayed in the governors hotel while the co.got us a plane to haul our drunk asses to Saigon. But have worked some marine jobs on the water in the 80s
