Fare gouging by motorcycle opperators

[ezzra]

Rejoice foreigners, you're not the only one being ripped off by Thais, as it seems now Thais

rip off other Thais providing motorcycle rides transport services to a blocked areas of Bkk,

while actually enjoying unlimited free food at the protests sites,, now that's is rich...

and those motorcycles guys see nothing wrong with that as one of the quipped: 'we turning

crises into opportunity' yeah, opportunity to rip of your fellow country men....

Market forces.

"guys"!? for heaven sake give us a break!

[namdocmai]

If you go to any market in Thailand you will see that they don't make pricetags, also on markets where farang don't go. That's just to cheat eachother.

And what about corruption? They cheat eachother all the time, that's their culture.

what bargirls lose moto guy boyfriends gain.................alls well. the boys can provider for awhile............lol.

[sam sen]

its demand and supply; if people didnt use them the price would come down. as long as the price isnt too high i dont see the problem, these guys dont earn much.

a lot of thais are too lazy to walk even a short distance, if they dont want to pay it will do them some good to get some excercise!

[krisb]

So walk.
