smotherb Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 7 hours ago, rwdrwdrwd said: Yes, but probably less politely. Something like, "OK Einstein, how on earth do you expect me to purchase a ticket if there is neither a ticket machine nor an office?". Conductors collecting fees on board is quite normal. Getting this upset because a Thai wanted the farang to pay 4 baht is not so normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kabula Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Your joking right? An Expat was killed here for arguing with a taxi driver over 30 THB. And he was an Executive with Caterpillar pulling down big dollars. Are you a Cheap Charlie? You better wise up or we will be reading your obituary.

Note that I would direct my venom at the bully, not the conductor. Not that my comment was especially angry, it was simply intentionally sarcastic. Hardly fighting talk.

Gracas Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 I don't know much about traveling on these trains, but can't you just buy a return ticket when you purchase your 4 baht to go visit your friend ? Or do you just hope for the 2 baht each way deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure she would get the gist of it without understanding a single word. Spanish is my go-to language for insulting people in Thailand. Never insult anyone in English. Innocent schoolchildren might understand certain key words ? Well maybe some people know Spanish as well. Nunca se sabe. .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elgenon Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 I would have given her 20 baht just to see what she would do. 4 baht? I can't believe anything is that cheap. No farang pricing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No farang pricing?Yes !!We need to insist on farang prices !Let's see: 4 baht x 1000 % = 40 baht Might get you ejected forcibly from a moving train but would be worth it to show solidarity with farang pricing !!

Old Fool Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 This is one of the few times that I agree that it was racist. No other way to spell it out. Skin color alone is what set her off (unless that's not you in the pic) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not yelling mind you but at whatever volume level she was at and I would have done it standing up. They cower to power and fold in a heartbeat. I would have made a big show of shaking hands with the conductor with a pat on the back as well just to show everyone else in the car that everything was just fine. And when she started back again (and there is little doubt that she was not going to) I would have stood up and started all over as well. Amateurs, I would have taken a flame thrower to everyone in the train and then drove that sucker right through the station. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayned Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 I would have paid the 4 baht to the conductor and then "loudly in Thai" offered him 1000 baht if he threw the b***h off at the next remote station! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
