We are talking about the Coloured Licensed Pattaya taxis here before I go on 

 

The man was in his 50's he was making 500 baht a trip in his licensed taxi and this was years before Grab /Uber 

Then Comes along a multi national called Grab and says we are paying you now 80 baht ,take it or accept it 

That's why he was angry 

Jomtien to Pattaya 79 baht 

As he said this is wrong before he got 300 

Change..we call it ..sad

Like any service sector job, times change and so does competition. If he can't compete then time to change your game or move on. Claiming a large income years ago vs now, well in your example seems he was overcharging like many taxi services and now he can't because he has competition. He doesn't have to take those low paying fares.

No they haven't did the same piece of s*** that they've always been

Like my man above mentioned.  Like many things it was in a bubble, Taxi man thinks like many investors that things always go up.  

 

Motorbike Taxis charge to much in my opinion.  I have a motorbike and know how much the bike, maintenance, gas, and time what a fair price should be.  I refuse and would rather take truck taxi or walk.

 

A car taxi is different and am willing to pay more because the car is more expensive to own and they wait in traffic longer.
