I admit the first time I travelled to Bangkok I was met by a posse of supposed taxi drivers offering me transportation to places I had never heard of for a price I had no idea about! To this day it still makes me chuckle when I pass through the airport and see new arrivals talking to excited drivers about how they will get to Pattaya. It’s nice to think that there are genuine drivers out there; I hope Mr. Tooms business is booming now after this free bit of advertising. .-= Hostel Booking´s last blog ..<a href="http://www.instantworldbooking.com/travel_guide/2010/02/the-land-of-shenendoah/" rel="nofollow">The Land of Shenendoah</a> =-.

Two lanes at a time? The shoulder? Ouch. My GF had a reserve driver who was awful. And he was driving her expensive car in BKK, not a company car. So, if the car gets wrecked? Mai bpen rai... yeah. And what about injuries? Mai bpen rai... She is really nice, so the only way she could get up the nerve to fire him was to have me in the car for one trip. When my life is in danger I'm going to say something. Loud. And I don't care what cultural rules there are. A life is a life (especially when it's mine ;-) Her next driver drove like an old lady. Slow and careful. .-= Catherine´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/womenlearnthai/PKcd/~3/LfRqhwSsczY/" rel="nofollow">Happy New Ears to You too Prudential</a> =-. Panic!

Mr. Toom is always good to his word and he has quite a few drivers working for him and every one except the very first one I used have been exceptional. The first driver I got through him had glasses so thick if he looked into the sun he would fry his brain. He couldn't understand the concept of driving lanes so he drove in two at a time until I said something to him....then he drove on the shoulder of the road! lol that’s awesome Cat.

Mr. Toom does indeed have good prices to Pattaya. I've heard 2000 baht one way from other taxi drivers. Not that I was looking... only listening. I have a special deal with my taxi driver too. By hours, not meter. We had to come up with the hours because he's not always in his cab. He's shopping with me. .-= Catherine´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/womenlearnthai/PKcd/~3/LfRqhwSsczY/" rel="nofollow">Happy New Ears to You too Prudential</a> =-.
