Daily News Thai Caption: That's not awfully polite dear chap

 

Daily News reported that netizens were commenting in droves after a cabby's less than polite signs hit the internet.

 

One draped over a front seat for rear passengers said:

 

Haam (d)aek aharn bon rot - the "d" sound was taken out by the media. 

It gives the sentence the tone of "no stuffing your face in my cab".

 

Then came the brackets:

(It stinks)

Then the caveat: Beverages are OK!!

Another sign said that any kind of petting including groping was a no-no in his cab. There was a spiritual lady taking care of that. This sign used the pronoun "goo" that ASEAN NOW is reliably informed is rather fruity. 

 

Most netizens said they were not really offended by the language but it doesn't look good.

 

Cabbies should defer to the public, doff their caps and live up to their erstwhile image and name always used in the Thai press, namely chauffeurs.

I think this cabby had a bad experience auditioning for fake taxi.

He just expressed his love for sex and alcohol

Thai cabbies do live up to their image... we read about them almost daily.

I say fair play to him. The car is either rented (he may have to pay some compensation for damage or getting it cleaned) or his own (why should he have to suffer smells and inappropriate behaviour?

 

Most people wouldn't eat or fondle others in the back of a taxi, so the signs are only directed at those people rude enough to do so.

 

Do we get upset about no smoking signs and no dog poo signs if we don't smoke or have dogs?

What an uncouth so n so. How about simply ‘no eating in cab, thank you’. If he can’t hack it, do something else. What is it with these guys?
