coz you think in terms of USD/ Euro and minimum wages in your home countries. Thailand is not that expensive to live.

Also taxi drivers earn a lot more in western countries than those in Asian ones. driving taxi can support your family very well in western countries. in Asia, its not really a job of choice.

exactly. people need to convert the baht to their currency and then trigger the right emotions. so if anyone is getting scammed for 50baht, think they are getting ripped by 50usd. 50baht may not sound a lot, but the taxi driver expectations are set wrong and they start feeling that ripping off is actually ok. its actually not.

@Marc *******

thats another big issue. meter manipulation. there is no way to find until you reach the destination. although you can record the journey, calculate the actual fare, refuse to pay and file a complaint. not sure if thats easy.

What are the experiences of using Agoda for hotel bookings?

Yuv *****

Booking has other issues too. all these sites actually run on almost zero employees since covid. so there is no one to take care of any issue and sort it out.

booking still has listed hundreds of hotels and hostels which closed long back. they take the money and keep it.

What should I do if my passport is held by a visa agent for months and my visa has expired?

Yuv *****

go to the police quietly. tell them everything. show them a video/ call recording. call her from police station to reconfirm. lodge official complaint. take the police with you to her place only after complaint is lodged. keep a local with you to understand whats being discussed.
