You would be amazed what you would find in Isaan and the northern provinces if you where looking. Touring the back country on motorbikes, you meet the best of the best.

Goat made the point:- "So why is it on this forum we can not use the headline "Brit assaults taxi driver" Headlines running side by side today:- British tourist held for attacking Thai cab driver - update Foreign tourist robbed of 80K gold necklace in Pattaya and the opening sentence in the article:- "A Laotian tourist, Detnakhon Inthakoummane, aged 37, reported being robbed ......."

Red Forever Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 6 hours ago, bob smith said: This is a new low for you, frogs. Mrs. Smtih said you are talking out your rear end. She said most Thai people are bone idle and don't want to study. That's why they get paid what they do. She studied hard for 7 years, got her masters degree and is now basically richer and more successful than all of her peers. Moral of the story - you get back out what you put in. If you aren't happy being paid a 'pittance' then get of your ar*e and make yourself more valuable. bob.

Popular Post cardinalblue Posted May 1 Popular Post Share Posted May 1 (edited) A proper transaction is to leave the bill in the open as the seller gets the change vs taking and hiding the bill out of sight....This is on the tuk tuk driver especially if it was only a 100B bill...You explicitly show the buyer what was given vs the set/owed price So the tuk tuk driver is either very stupid or it was a scam job (if the driver did not show immediately the 100B bill as insufficient payment towards the 400B bill... Why would the driver hide a 100B bill? he would be the one who is upset vs hiding immediately a 1000B and then saying it was only 100B (you leave the 100B bill in clear view)...either way, money was still owed to someone whether change or insufficient amount...You don't make the bill disappear when the transaction is still open Sorry folks, but it sounds like a scam job...

I am a foreigner, and I despise being tarred with the same brush as these idiots. Yes I agree. Those 2 New Zealanders and the Swiss Kicker are winning hands down then, yet I suspect the Tuk-tuk driver didn't try to overcharge a slightly inebriated Scotchman/Welshman/ Northan Irishman or even an Englishman, as they are as honest a Thai your ever meet in Pooket.

Ausie11 Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 10 hours ago, save the frogs said: 100 Thai Baht equals 2.15 Pound sterling. That's barely enough for a pack of gum in the UK? Yeah, that's worth getting into an altercation and risking the other guy having a weapon on him or having friends nearby gang up on you. And the violent altercation being filmed. Some people lack survival skills. But then again, he was drunk. Which is one reason I don't drink much. Act stupid in public and get yourself killed. Hi thought that he gave him thousand not hundred, and maybe he was right, why driver didnt shoe him the note he gave. We all know these drivers are shifty, but we all believe their stories 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gottfrid Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 Sure, he should have his change back. However, resorting to violence, just made him yet another Brit who paves the way for top position in dorks coming to Thailand.
