Wombat6 Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Got to hand it to you General / PM, done a great job with all those taxi drivers, maybe TAT can spin the photo to get another couple of million tourists next month. Yep, things are far better under the Junta, not. A bit pathetic to comment and blame the PM for everything wrong in the world.....grow up!!

masquerade Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Got to hand it to you General / PM, done a great job with all those taxi drivers, maybe TAT can spin the photo to get another couple of million tourists next month. Yep, things are far better under the Junta, not. A bit pathetic to comment and blame the PM for everything wrong in the world.....grow up!! Slow down there big boy, in too much of a hurry to give me a broadside, you didn't even read my comment correctly. Firstly, please point out where I said I blame him for everything in the world and secondly, it is the the PM himself who is on record for saying he would clean up the taxi service. Criticism is due where criticism is warranted. May I quietly suggest that if you are going to censure somebody, please check your facts first as it appears you are way out of your league with your arrogance.

Benmart Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 I can't be sure from the photo, but more than likely, there are effigies of the Lord Buddha. I doubt the precepts and teachings condoned such selfish, violent and irrational behaviors. Hypocrisy and darkness often hides itself behind the facade of false piety.

Jim walker Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 I thought there were only a few fruit loops in Thailand but now I am convinced all Thai males are nutters and as someone commented earlier if only I had my gun with me it would have been one less Thai driver on the dangerous roads in Thailand.

Jonmarleesco Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Of course, his being a brick short of a full hod is exacerbated by the fact that, like many others who employ the same kind of approach to a problem, whether or not they caused it, the thought that their 'victim' might turn out to be anything but never occurs to them.

thesetat2013 Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 I have come to realize that many people who post in Thai Visa come from small towns, or rural villages (or the UK, which is relatively civilized) I am sorry to report, that in the Metro regions of the USA, fighting in the streets about traffic .. is a norm. In America, I have had three guns pointed at my head, had two knives pulled on me, one baseball bat, and have had a few bare knuckle events. All about really minor traffic issues while I drove taxi. (For some reason, people think yuo can yell at taxi drivers, and they will just take it. Nope.) if you doubt me, go to New York, Boston, or Chicago, and mouth off to a taxi driver. Have a nice day. (And keep your hands up) Wow! No wonder you fled the country to stay in Thailand. You must really know how to piss people off. I have lived in Miami, New York, L.A, and Chicago and this has never happened to me. My guess is that you initiated people getting put of their cars to attack you.

cookee68 Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 every day i see how more f@@@ed up Thailand gets, how glad i am that we decided to live in the UK with our kids, At least they will have a chance of some sort of education. you have to love the mentality and excuses of the taxi driver, and the BIB for believing him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwikeith Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Dont have to look far for evidence that suppression of anger, wais and maipen rai's just doesnt work on humans of any nationality. Mind you, things are no better in places where they dont suppress anger. One would think even worse actually. In New Zealand it would have been either a Baseball bat , tire lever or machettee.

xjbond Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 ...............witnessed the taxi driving the wrong way through the tiny lane at Soi Charansanitwong 31. Even when you are wrong, you are right! In one hotel I worked at in Bangkok one of the front office staff was caught stealing cash and upon being terminated claimed it wasn't fair because it was only a small amount. Ive seen many instances like this, its always stuff like " why are you doing this to me" seems their tiny brains cant cope with any responsibility whatsoever, trying to twist it back as that you are creating the problem I agree, "can't cope with any responsibility ...". and "trying to twist it ....". Also known as accountability and accepting responsibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spidermike007 Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 I am a tiny man child, and I do as i please. My taxi gives me superpowers, and nobody can or will question me. When they do, whether I am right or wrong, they will be subject to my Bruce Lee type punishment. I am the overlord of taxi land. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stephenterry Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 There's this one guy who takes his dog for a walk in the park, despite a number of No Dogs notices. Seems like no-one intervenes, even the security guard. My missus says he'd tell the security guard to go away, because he has the goddamn right to do whatever he pleases when he pleases. And it's only a little dog - that craps all over the place where children play... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boomerangutang Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 For starters, very very few Thai drivers (maybe 1 in 1,000) have any windows open, whether driving or parked. The victim must have opened his window as part of the confrontation. If the taxi had tried that with me, I would have grabbed the foot and rolled up the window and driven away. Ok, I admit, easier to say than to do. I was driving on a large hwy when a large truck stopped in front of of me (his brake lights weren't working), and forced me to swerve around. I gave him the American finger (my mistake). I was with 2 other farang men in the front seat of my pick-up. When I and the truck driver stopped at a red light, he shouted at me (while still in the cab) while waving a broad sword. No, not just a machete, his thing was 3' long, 3" wide and silver-colored. Me and my 2 friends just sat in the p.u. We didn't want to do anything to further inflame the Thai truck driver. Plus, we didn't have any weapons on hand. Since then, I carry a California framing hammer in the cab of my p.u. It's a 28 ounce waffle-head and can't be bought in Thailand - had to be brought in via luggage. Its claw could bring down an elephant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
