KKK Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 If a boat comes to two houses, can only fit one family, is the boat-owner wrong for taking the family who is pledging to pay the highest price for the ride? YES...he should take passengers on a first-come first-served basis or triage them...elderly, infirm etc go first. It should NOT be on the basis of who pays most. You'll be condoning queue jumping at the post office next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tokay Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 Sounds like the Pattaya / Phuket jet ski gang is in full effect, but with boats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An honorable position if you choose to do it by yourself, but ludicrous to try to force others to do it against their will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sturbuc Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 Very sad to hear about this when the country is in need of the good Thai spirit. Well, i remember the bad news about 9/11: the prices for hotel rooms were doubled or tripled.... Seems to be a general habit to get as much money as possible....
