    This may be the pub but that doesn't prevent me from finding this thread highly objectionable. Thai taxi drivers don't spit at foreigners and wave placards in their faces and berate them in restaurant

  • It didn't happen so by definition I couldn't possibly have been there.

    Congratulations Bob, you did it again. Post a nonsense topic with nonsense text then argue about things you know aren't true but no one (including you) can prove one way or the other.   Ther

Coming from someone who brags about about regularly drinking beer for breakfast?

 

I've already wasted too much time on this garbage. Buh bye.

why should it be closed?

 

Motorbike taxi and tuk-tuk drivers (esp in Phuket) can be shady and aggressive, but wouldn't say so wholesale. One tends to attract how one rolls. Perhaps the op needs to chill out a bit or perhaps lay off the sauce. :whistling:

The Tuk Tuk dudes in Siem Reap are just brutal, although I wouldnt call them aggressive or intimidating. 

 

My method is when they say "Hellooooo Papa", I merely respond: "No need Weed, no Ketamine, no morphine, no lady boom boom, no ladyboy" and they usually laugh and hunt someone else down.

 

I don't get that in Bangkok at all, in any tourist area. Africans yes, Indian watch sellers yes, Taxi guys, no. Not in front of any hotel, not in front of Thermae, no where. They may quote a stupid price but a smile and no thanks and they go away.

 

Maybe the OP brings it on himself by going full yob on some poor Thai guy who asks if he wants a ride. We will probably see a post from him entitled "Gang of Taxi dudes beats me up". Can probably understand why.

I think we know Bob from time to time may use some artistic license in his posts, but some taxi drivers outside hotels can be a bit pushy and arrogant and it can be a bit annoying when they charge way above the norm, so there is room for discussion I would have thought ...

No not really, its just about 8am here in beautiful non touristy Northern BKK and Im watching the boats on the river, trying to decide on breakfast, smoking a bowl of high grade Nepalese hash and amusing myself by watching some dude on the internet make a total idiot of himself.

it seems that i have really hit a nerve with this thread.

 

not quite sure why, as i thought it was common knowledge that most taxi drivers that hang around hotels in tourist hot spots are up to no good.

Folks like a car crash. Your post is like a chicken truck colliding with a pole. Folks gonna have to watch.

 

Everyone knows that a taxi driver in front of hotel asks more money. Thats the way it is and alwys will be. Walk around the coner. 

 

You should have been here before meters and the BTS/MRT

Bob's like those birds around the house that steal my dogs food and dump on the MB. I hate the little forkers but when I don't see them for a few days, I kinda miss them.

My experiences with taxi drivers over the years have normally been quite pleasant, even fun at times.

Even the motorci taxis have been ok. Tuk Tuk drivers, at times not so pleasant.

If you don't open your mouth nobody will say you are dumb.....

from what I have seen they are dangerous,

 

They are now even resorting to going up to tourists sat in restaurants eating with their city tour placards and waving them in their faces.

 

it's disgusting, and if they ever did that to a family member of mine in my presence I would clock him square on the chin.

oh what a tough guy sitting at a keyboard...yeah go ahead and clock a taxi driver on the chin and see how it works out when the baseball bats and machetes come out....only a fool would "clock" a taxi driver....be sure and have someone post your pic in the hospital bed

1 on 1 I would eat them for breakfast.

 

trouble is thais dont fight 1 on 1 do they, and they have to resort to weapons in a fist fight.
