A Thai app-based cab driver filed a complaint with the police after the manager of a taxi and baht bus company damaged his car near Pattaya Walking Street in the early hours of this morning.

 

The victim, 25 year old Adisak Rachom, filed a complaint at Mueang Pattaya Police Station at 1am of today. Adisak said the incident occurred after he parked his black Nissan March to drop off his brother at the entrance of Pattaya Walking Street.

 

Adisak explained that he is an app-based driver but didn’t have a passenger that night. He was just dropping off his brother for a party with his friends. However, the public transport manager, 47 year old Pranot Katethong, might have assumed he was trying to steal passengers from him.

 

Pranote was reportedly responsible for managing the queue and passengers for taxi and public bus drivers.

Who cares.  Boo F Hoo.  Try Pranot, and if he is guilty, put him in prison where he can do less damage.

Rather than be competitive, and charge closer to the prices of competitors, (they want 500 for a 250 baht Bolt ride) they physically attack the competition. They believe it is their right to rip-off tourists. 

Any reports of a taximeter using its meter?  Or a police prosecution for this offence?

Because rational actions, being an adult, adopting a business/corporate approach to your profession, marketing, effort, or just acknowledging and accepting that you are being made obsolete by technology and/or people much more clever than you is too difficult. 

 

Far easier to demand, get aggressive, act like a child and project your problems onto others.
