Popular Post snoop1130 Posted June 8, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted June 8, 2023 Another bad boy Bangkok taxi driver was caught engaging in unscrupulous deeds, this time attempting to rip off a South Korean tourist, charging the foreigner 700 baht for a 30-minute trip. Fortunately, the South Korean man saw through the taxi driver’s antics and paid him only 300 baht. The taxi driver was furious with this and went into meltdown, cursing and swearing at the tourist. The viral video caught the moment when the Thai taxi driver had a dispute with a South Korean tourist in front of a hotel on Charoen Krung Road in Bangkok. In the video, the Thai taxi driver shouted at the foreigner… “In the afternoon, I must charge you 500 baht because of the traffic jam. OK, give me 300 baht. It is ok, give me 300 baht. You are an <deleted>! You even drank two bottles of water in my car. It is 40 baht.” The taxi driver was aggressive and screamed a number of rude words in the Thai language. The hotel staff came to intervene in the fight. They urged the foreigner to get into the hotel and demanded the taxi driver leave.

So no meter? Negotiate before you get into the taxi. Or resort to alternatives time permitting such as Grab and Bolt. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john smith Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 A family member from the UK flew into Bangkok last week. She was charged B 1000 for the journey into Bangkok. The meter was not used( (caveat emptor) she negotiated the fare down to B500. It was late in the afternoon and there were no tolls that day. It was a legitimate airport taxi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brianthainess Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 If the driver ate less he wouldn't need to overcharge, I hope he gets fined for not using a meter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If someone made it so taxi drivers couldn't rip off foreigners, would they still want to do the job? Edited June 10, 2023 by BangkokReady Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
