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

Ric ****

Trust the map over him...get out ..report to grab... download Bolt or Indrive ..I can't tell you how many times they said "arrived" , when on the commonly visible map, they are more then a km away .,and they go...."where are u? ...I'm here"... Don't even bother to argue .. screenshot and claim the fare later.

Is Norwegian Krone (NOK) accepted at exchange shops in Thailand?

Ric ****

Yes the Norwegian Kroner is accepted at Superrich Thailand for the best rates. Check their websites. I believe "Nok" also means bird and is a common female name in Thailand. Also, if you repeat it twice.... people might replay with..." Who's there?"...
