News Forum - Taiwanese actress warns tourists to be aware of Thailand’s ‘bastard police’
About twelve years ago I was walking near a main road in the Bang Na area of Bangkok. It was late afternoon and a guy on a motorcycle pulled up. He was wearing a jacket with 'Police" on it. He demanded to know where I was going. Instead of telling him, I asked him in Thai why he wanted to know. He told me it was a dangerous place, and he could take me somewhere safer. I laughed at him and said I'd never felt scared walking anywhere in Thailand. I wondered if he was really a policeman - many people seem to have a jacket with the word "Police" on the back. I asked him why his motorbike registration wasn't a police registration (even though many police do use their own vehicles). He swore and drove off.- 1

News Forum - Phuket taxis: outsiders are undercutting our prices
I am not supporting a lot of the nonsense that goes on in Phuket with taxis and whatnot But I also maybe question how social most are because although I don't think I should have to We go to Phuket all the time and always find a reasonable priced ride Either from the people at the hotel or the bar we been to Now my idea of "reasonable " may also vary from some of the more "fiscal" people on here In May we drove the MB out but ended up drinking too much to drive home The Bar/Restaurant who we were having fun with called a tuk tuk they knew 200 Bhat they drove us to our hotel and their buddy followed us driving our bike so I didn't have to go hey it later next day My point is talk to people, be friendly and you can find decent people to drive you around
