I did not know that you could "decline a police meeting." Interesting. While I have always practiced staying under the radar (except for the one time we went to get a massage in the city and when we left it was dark and I couldn't see much out of my sunglasses driving back to the village! and maybe a few others I've forgotten) it is good to know that if the police ever come round, I will politely decline their "meeting".

Ask yourself, what can the police also do..?

 

I would never physically attack a driver (first), but imagining this was me, I would rather accept the meeting, resolve this with a wai (and probably some money), and get on with my holiday, rather than risk jail and deportation...

No one should act like this, even if they were not given the change they thought they deserved.

I'd really like to hear the tourists side

Strange comment, a picture says a thousand words, you've got a video clip, I reckon a million (1000000) words. 

 

The guys a thug, you reckon he's going to tell you the truth. 

 

Are you one of those Aussie lefty guys?

It depends how you define scam.

It's 100 baht, not 10 000 baht.

Is it fair that you were born in a western country where you can afford to fly to thailand 3 times a year and a baht bus driver makes a pittance?

Is it still a scam?

 

So, you think it is normal for falangs to pay double prices in LOS, you better go protect frogs with your ridiculous comment.
We, as foreigners also have to work hard for our pennies, mind you.

He's been nicked by the cops already.

He tried moving to another area but was arrested almost immediately 😀

Drinking a beer with a British accent. 

 

I don't know what all the fuss was about, Seems really weird that he gets violent over a few hundred baht.

I thought the unemployment benefits paid well in England.  

 

 

The cops organised tea and scones and Abdulloh declined, it's just not British old chap. 

 

 

He may be British in your view, but .........

Thank God you're back.

 

I heard lots of stories, there was one floating around that you left Mrs Smith and ran off with the Juristic woman.

These increasing events are an indication of the lower end tourists Thailand is now attracting. There are many reasons for this, which we have gone over, time and again. Violence is rarely ever called for, especially over small sums is money. What a creep. 

Then there is a Tuk Tuk driver in the mix...

A week in jail and deportation would seem about right. This crap will continue until some lessons are learned. 

If people can't control themselves, kick them out. 

 

And the Thais will understand that you-we, the firengiee, that remain are the good guys and all will be happy happy joy joy. Bad out, good in. 

 

It is always eye opening to realize their are xpats out there that actually believe that twaddle. Stockholm Syndrome ... Call it TDS; Thai Derangement Syndrome.  Still this is Thaivisa ... uh er AN, to be expected many here suffer from this delusion. .

Abdulloh's father revealed that while incidents of fare evasion have occurred in the past, the demand for additional money this time was intolerable. He believes that this event raises serious concerns about the treatment of local workers by foreign tourists.

Interesting he does not think ripping off tourists by the local workers is a concern 😂

I would define scam as paying a 400bht bill with a 1000bht note, and being given 100bht change ............... "no, you gave me a 500bht note". Probably the most common taxi/bar scam in Thailand.

 

How many times a day can you afford to lose a tenner?

Don't ever pay with a 1000 note in regular venues. Always break it in the 7-11 where there are cameras overhead.

A new 7-11 opened in October near us, staff there say the note amount whenever a customer hands over a 500 or 1000.

 

Often a pause as they figure out how to tell me my change amount, for their language practice in English.

 

Admit I have at times made errors in mixing a 1000 in with 100s.

charged at 400 baht. 

 

the unidentified tourist paid only 100 baht

 

Why did the taxi driver accept and put away the 100 Baht note?

 

Why doesn't the video show the tourist handing over the 100 Baht?

 

Not convincing at all.
