This isn't that common in Thailand anymore compared to most poor countries.
Like where? Philippines? I guess in South America drivers would always yell Taxi at me but they don't really ask where I'm going. I get really bothered when a swarthy man asks me that
North africa is 5x worse I'd say. Then you finally take one and some dude jump out of the sidewalk and takes your bag to put it in the trunk and ask for a tip.
Also thai drivers will add maybe 30% max of the price, in Maghreb they start the bargain at 20x the price and it'll take you at least 5 minutes to get to only 3x the price, and that's if you have some practice already.
Balkans are a bit better than this but worse than thailand still.
Vietnam. The India of SEA. At least Thais leave you alone when you say no.
HCMC isn't the entirety of Vietnam.
HCMC is definitely the worst but anywhere with tourists is bad for it.
And the frickers always try to scam you. 200 baht to travel half a mile or some shit. I never use them, having to haggle everytime pisses me off.
>Sir you want airport taxi?
Motherfricker i just arrived
>want to get back to my hotel in bangkok, I am pretty far
>only rickshaw frickers are there and they want to scam me for 700 baht
>I try to haggle but they are adamant so leave
>a guy comes to me, that he will take me with his car for 200
>say ok
>hop in
>as soon as I hop in he locks the doors, the engine starts
>get scared as frick that I actually entered a strangers car and he is taking me to some valley where they remove my organs
>he checks me several times in the front mirror
>ok I will die
>he actually takes me to the hotel
I don't know why did I write about this
How are these still a thing
Doesn’t thailand have grab or uber or something by now
They only say "tuk tuk?" to me, and always desist after a dismissive wave. I look straight ahead and maintain my pace when responding, like someone who is in fact walking and doesn't need a ride.
Also, nobody calls me sir in Thailand as a 29 year old. Very much unlike the Philippines.
I've used Bolt, pretty happy with it. Half hour ride in a private car with A/C will cost me 231 baht, and the app takes 50 off your first two rides as a promo.
BTS is the ideal transport, but doesn't go everywhere; Khao San, for instance.
Asking where you are going is part of their job, dumbass. I just point at the ground, "already here". The things people get offended at...
Grab is always an hour late, it’s only when you get one in advance, hoping to finish your breakfast that they show up fricking immediately
tuktuk drivers will have a good laugh if you tell them your slightly cheaper grab car is “only 5 minutes away”
Get a hotel that isn't in a fricking tourist hole you moron. You'll rapidly find this shit doesn't exist outside a 2 block radius of the whitegay zone.
Sawatdee khap my good man. I kindly request that you would chaueffer me to the finest brothel you know of in the vicininty. Whats that you say? 2000 baht? Jolly good show old boy, onward to decadent new heights!
2000 baht is a lot
>walking
>very old tout says hey blahblabbeeblah
>ignore
>Chicken farm! 30 dolla!
>okay he knew the magic word
>takes me around the corner and down 2 streets to a improvised house of viet
>40 dolla!
>whatever
>go inside and leave
>drop me off, asks to pay for ride
>why? I know you got a comission there
>the old man is having a tantrum and lying to my face
>have to go change bill at nearby restaurant
>takes shit about me with the staff, barang this barang that
It's a little poor man mafia and they are hardly helpful unless you need to scout some overused pooninny and quickly
Is chicken farm slang for brothel?
Yeah but technically got it's origins at Koh Rong or outside Siem Reap long ago. Small dirty places outside town. Now the concept hardly exists, I'd say.
Thailand has Grab, Bangkok has the Skytrain. The frick would anyone pay for this?
For the experience. I loved being fricking terrified for 300 baht, would recommend heartily
I have to wait for the Grab driver to arrive, which is a pain in my dick sometimes, and the skytrain is crowded usually, which is also a pain in my dick. If I see some old bastard parked in his Fred Flintstones death-on-wheels carriage and I just want to ride 10-15 blocks, then yeah, I'll pay the 150 baht and risk my life in the process.
But you have to ask the price before you sit down and agree to it to get the 150 price tag. One time, I forgot to do this, and I asked while we were already moving. His response? "500 baht, sir."
