What should you do if your Grab driver is lost in Thailand?

@Kate ******

forgive me. Enjoy your trip.

@Kate ******

i mean the driver maybe not familiar with the place.

Chris Bird…..If he really was เกรงใจ he wouldn’t have asked anyone in the first place, he would have feigned knowing and done all he could to keep up that air…not let in that he was clueless..He called the hotel and asked a bunch of people, which CLEARLY shows that he was acknowledging the fact that he DID NOT KNOW and was open to having another individual correct his course...If he felt เกรงใจ and hesitant to show his lack of knowledge on this particular destination, he would have done no such thing… this is the most important point of this whole story…had he NOT reached out or asked for assistance, your point would be valid, but he did……your reaction says more about you than anything else, calling me a clown for questioning your take on the matter….no where in my post was I aggressive or resorting to name calling, that was all you. seems like it’s your ego that cannot bear it when your take on things in questioned…also, just because there are some things that can’t translate into Englsih from Thai, doesn’t have a whole lot of bearing on why some ฝรั่ง can‘t speak Thai…ridiculous logic.

@Sam ********

you're wrong again ,he isn't worried about losing face to the hotel or the fellow Thais that he's asking ,as he's a taxi driver ,lol. BUT he is exercising เกรงใจ by getting you to the destination . You don't get it and I understand why . Learning basic fluency in Thai only takes about 1750 hours . Two lessons a week for the next 6 years will sort that . Then things wont get lost in translation ....This is brilliant "also, just because there are some things that can’t translate into Englsih from Thai, doesn’t have a whole lot of bearing on why some ฝรั่ง can‘t speak Thai " Thats exactly why 99% cant speak it . You need a clown imoji more than ever, but I refrained.

@Kate ******

Thats sad. You've been unlucky there . They normally cook well here . Take care and drink plenty of water /electrolytes . "Sponsor" is a sports drink they sell in which has electrolytes in it ,Also they sell "Royal D" which you add to water ,also full of electrolytes . Hope you have better luck soon . Thais are very helpful and I believe you will have a better time going forward .

@Greg **********

it's more about not being the way they have been taught to understand their world ie they don't know the names of major and minor streets, just landmarks or the names of intersections like si yaek followed by the intersection name or sarm yaek followed by the T junction name

@Jason ******

I never report anyone or thing

I’m commenting about Ric Ky’s comment …

Get it yet ????

@Rogerio *****

i have not a problem with it

@Trevor ******

my gf doesn’t like it for that reason but I guess during the day/being a guy it’s ok

@Paul *******

in Bangkok is good to use to monitor taxi movements, with Waze

@Glen *******

no but great for avoiding traffic and accidents

@Dan ********

it is what it is, I question the same thing. They don't understand technology and got spin around. One has to work in that field but have no other choice.

@Nguyễn *******

yea I’ve experienced it quite a few times in Thailand, they don’t understand how these map apps work
