richard_smith237 Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 Taxi drivers attempting to rip of customers again.... ... Foreigners getting the blame when they don't put up with it. Just this week with Wife and Son, about 10 taxi's in a row wanted to charge is 1000 Baht to get home (after a concert - obviously a busy area near the stadium). We went to a nearby restaurant and ate instead... towards the end of the meal with had the Grab App, Bolt App and In-Drive App going with most drivers cancelling on us... eventually we got a ride for 145 baht. When there was Uber generating competition taking a taxi in Bangkok used to be as easy as it is in any other city - Now Bangkok has become like Phuket with ayhole drivers never using the meter and Grab drivers accepting and cancelling. I think I've only taken two taxi's so far this year that used the meter without issue. about 75% of the time I try to order a Grab they cancel. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, it's not allowed, and Cannabis makes you less aggressive. Alcohol and speed ,on the other hand, can make you more aggressive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PETERTHEEATER Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 5 hours ago, webfact said: The taxi driver asserted that this was not the initial instance of Varshawa evading payment for a taxi ride. He recounted how Varshawa frequently feigned anger or mental instability to avoid settling the fare. Which taxi driver was this? The report started with a named female taxi driver. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Californian Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 (edited) On 4/3/2024 at 8:51 AM, Grumpy one said: Send her back to Mother Russia, she can help defend against Ukraine I don't think that will happen...The correct spelling of this woman's name is Nadiya Serhiivna Varshava and she is an Ukrainian national with Portuguese citizenship. Her LinkedIn profile states that she is a graduate from the Faculty of Economics at the University of Coimbra, Portugal. Since 2018, she is been running a business in Switzerland in the banking and financial sector, providing investment analysis and financial accounting services to clients from Ukraine and Eastern Europe. She also claims on her profile to be fluent in five languages, including English. It is mind-boggling to see her skipping out on taxi fare in the equivalent of 40 Euros and then attacking the driver with a knife, recorded on a security camera video. The taxi driver should pursue this case until a substantial monetary settlement is litigated by a competent lawyer.
