Yann55 Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 The phrase 'an intoxicated taxi driver' suggests that some taxi drivers in Bangkok are not intoxicated, and wow, that's a surprise. I've taken taxis in Bangkok for over 40 years and have yet to remember a time when the driver had a normal behaviour. Of course, nowadays, thanks to the BTS and MRT, I avoid taking BKK taxis whenever possible, but if I have to take one, I NEVER step in without some form of apprehension.

cockatoowho Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 More ''Thainess'' on show for the world to see ! Oh yes,...for you every drunk is a representative of he's country ??? and how about the next taxi driver who was not drunk not Thainess ? and that nurse who saved a Farang's life on the street last week after he got a heart attack Not Thainess for you ?!?!?!? A couple of months ago a drunk driver killed 3 girls on bicycles in my European country would that be Europianness ??? Most people never think before they post nonsense....like you did... Just another bit of garbage added to the vast trash-can that the internet has become.... Must agree that his statement could have read better. Should have said; The usual "Thainess" on show for the world to see, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonmarleesco Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 And these are the people we trust with our lives? Hardly. We take the chance that the one we are in won't crash during our particular trip. Now, will they impound the car? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonmarleesco Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 More ''Thainess'' on show for the world to see ! Such ignorance is getting tiresome. But what do you expect from low-life farangs who are often drunk, pedophiles and child molestors...Farangness You're liked by Tchooptip and Squeegee. So there's more than one of you out there.

Nobb Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Just another case of Thai people who do not respect the police or any Thai authority! Thailand biggest problem because they know they will not be given a large fine and if the get one they just do not pay it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sydneyjed Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Anyone caught a tuk tuk up around Soi 20 on an evening...those blokes are as high as a kite on that cheap ethanol moonshine they swig on. The guy that took me down to Nana the other week when I couldn't get a taxi was worse than me..and I was hammered! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MobileContent Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 After watching this video, I can't stop myself from laughing. This cop seems really scared for the drunk taxi driver, and let's the motorbike cabbies take care of business. He is more interested that his cap stays on his "brave" head... That is because if you know Suthisan and the Bangsue area, the motorbike taxis keep a very close relationship with the cops. I lived on Bangsue 4 years and can tell you it is the most brutal police station in the city. Prostitution is very much between Thais and their is more money to be made on gambling on Suthisan after Rachada then on Sukhumvit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mick01827 Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 More ''Thainess'' on show for the world to see ! Any chance you can explain what being thai has got to do with this?

bander Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Why did't the cop handcuff him after the beating? I only see him leaving it to the mc taxi guys two deal with the crazy taxi driver. Another BIB coward who don't have a clue what to do when things get out of control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stickylies Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 He won't go to jail, I've seen it on TV, he said sorry sorry, and the police man answered OK no problem any more. of course he won't. no matter how bitter some farang may be here on tvf, thai society is still rather cool hence i'm here and not in nanny-state. respect to the copper for keeping his cool and understanding the context ("life sux and then u die") of his fellow man!

Basil B Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 (edited) Calling a Bangkok taxi car driver a Cabbie is an insult to London's finest... Cabbie first used to refer to drivers of Hansom Cab's... Cab is a shortening of cabriolet, reflecting the design of the carriage. It replaced the hackney carriage as a vehicle for hire; with the introduction of clockwork mechanicaltaximeters to measure fares, the name became taxicab. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hansom_cab Edited January 8, 2016 by Basil B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tchooptip Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 More ''Thainess'' on show for the world to see !

Rogermoore Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Maybe if the cop wasn't chasing him he would not have tried to shake him off which resulted in hitting the motorbike. Would have just cruised home and went to bed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billphillips Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Drunk driving, driving a PSV under the influence, assaulting a police officer, causing a collision while intoxicated (or undue care and attention / dangerous driving) failing to stop. That's without the possible faults on the vehicle. Fined 500 baht. A real deterrent I'm sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
