Too right, I left Phuket 20 years ago because of them !! One time, a drunk driver came to pick me up,( Kata beach). I refused of course. Another time , I had to get out of the taxi on top of Karon to Patong hill as the driver was weaving all over the road ( high ?) . Luckily I managed to flag down some foreigners. Another time got dropped off about 4 km from destination due to traffic. He turned round and went back. I did not pay. Ignorant thugs Rich enough to have their own cars and charge what they want to. If I go out evenings and have a meal and a glass or 2, I need taxis. If I go shopping with heavy bags I don’t want to add 500 ++ Baht taxi cost to my shopping. They should have a decent government bus service , for Thais and foreigners. The last time the authorities did that about 15 years back the taxis blocked the road and the driver had to run for it. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this happened in the uk OMG the uproar, the protest and riots. Teflon Thailand. They even once got away with blowing up a Cathay Pacific jet! https://southeastasiaglobe.com/cathay-pacific-flight-cx700z/ A BIB was the prime suspect, and his acquittal, in Thailand of course, led to a frenzy of national rejoicing on the court steps. He eventually died of stomach cancer in the US, so there's that. Edited May 27, 2023 by chalawaan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about Thai's. Are they all good law abiding citizens. I hear the Thai mafia have a base in Phuket. Are do they pay their way out like all good Thai citizens. There are many Thais who actually believe this, thanks to decades of propaganda... - I'm sure, charging THAIFEX exhibition people 4,000 to 5,000 baht for taxi rides from Muang Thong Thani to Bangkok downtown recently, just to name one example, was a big misunderstanding, and we will be bombarded the next couple days with stories of 'honest taxi drivers returning wallets with 5 million baht in it, and briefcases full of rolexes, gold bars, pearls, and diamonds'... Or, some might remember, just after the tsunami 2004, foreigners trying to get to Phuket Airport... taxi driver: "5,000 baht", tourist: "Don't have.", taxi driver: "You walk!" But as I often hear, all Thais are "jai-dee" and honest... Thailand a perfect example of the old adage of “a thief shouting 'stop thief!'” Edited May 27, 2023 by StayinThailand2much 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enoon Posted May 27, 2023 Share Posted May 27, 2023 (edited) My guess is that this is just another example of their atrocious English knowledge and usage. Possibly they had something like "White Listing" accommodation in their poor, half informed minds, when they sadly, inevitably made a total **** up of naming and presenting yet another.....sigh......."crackdown". Why the **** can they not run this sort of thing past a native Anglophone, before they puke it out into the public sphere? What can you say to them? What can you say?
