It is amazing that the story about a tourist having an issue with a taxi driver over a fare, which most likely the taxi driver didn't use the meter and tried to over charge the tourist for his fare has turned into a fat shaming post, the weight of the tourist has nothing to do with the original story. If the tourist had been smaller in stature i think the out come would have been the same from the taxi driver if the passenger was was not over weight.  

 

Overall the comments should be about how the taxi driver violent reaction and how he manages to keep his taxi license and not loses his job. 

 

I know i am going to get a lot of keyboard warriors commenting back but lets treat everyone the same no matter colour, size or culture

Use your brain, a lot of posters complained about the tourist being to fat I just replied 

Yes, with a woman who has nothing to do with the story. Can´t hear that a man is fat, without showing a fat woman?

Guess you are the one that should have used the brain before posting. Not telling others to do.

WAD - unbelievable - I can see why you would support Harris/Biden like most sexpats.

Please listen slowly.

Thailand is trying to attract 'quality tourists'

The story was not good for attracting quality tourists (taxi driver attacking passenger).

Get it yet?? 

 

Show me why you believe what you do, about the tourist, you go by a taxi driver's story that the tourist "slammed" a door... really, come on, is that what you base "quakity" on... grow up. As for a trump supporter.. mate, I am an Aussie, I have no liking fir American politics, it's a comedy show.

I never give in to the Bangkok taxi or tuk tuk mafia. It's either the BTS or MRT or Grab. Mainly at the airport.

Utter tripe. For 16 years I've always got an honest taxi man at the airport at the "meter taxi" queue. Never an issue. Never a scam.

Not ok to drive a car when you've had a few, nevermind a few too many anywhere!

Why is the taxi driver wai-ing to the farang's titty?

Personally I don't bother with the taxi Mafia, when I've had a few too many I just drive my car or ride the motorbike slowly, I find I'm more aware of road conditions than many sober drivers.🙃🙃

 

I think this amusing dig at another poster has gone way over the heads of many posters.

has that been proven with statistics that sexpats tend to vote for harris?

 

i would have guessed the other way around. 

 

Asking about whether an opinion has been proven by a statistical study or research paper - are you a leftie ??

You have a very 'troubled' attitude and you have a very 'one-way' thinking process.  Goodbye.

 

Looking at the Aussie, he’s very fortunate that it wasn’t a puncture wound
