Popular Post georgegeorgia Posted August 11, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted August 11, 2023 (edited) Now you hail a baht bus going to Jomtien, you are the only one in it. Just after that overhead bridge up the hill going ( don't know the name) but has small soccer sports court under it. The bus stops for 6 indian guys , they talk to him and jump in the back. He jumps out and approaches you as you sit in the back and says they are going in a different direction and tells you to pay 10b for that short ride, and can catch another one. Do you pay the 10 baht and jump out ? Edited August 11, 2023 by georgegeorgia 1 3 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully I would have 10 one baht coins I'd pay, but with a 1,000 baht bill. I know how physically painful it is for lower-tier Thai people to have to make change and give up their precious smaller bills. Seinfeld had a bit where a news stand made him buy more stuff to break a $20 bill. But if he had already started eating the candy bar....... Making them break a grand for a 10 baht payoff would likely just get me waved off. Edited August 11, 2023 by LaosLover 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post pomchop Posted August 11, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted August 11, 2023 Take a chance to get beat with a tire iron over 10 baht and 10 minutes of your time? I don't think so.

Popular Post Neeranam Posted August 11, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted August 11, 2023 No, I wouldn't pay unless he got aggressive. I would ask how much the Indian guys were paying and maybe say to take it off their bill.

I had a taxi driver hit me once in Nontaburi. I hit him back, instinctively and he then went back to his car and took out a tyre iron. He never used it and I felt great after it, and still tell the story 30 years later. It's not about the money. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
