Brace yourself gents - female ahead ewe!
My adventure from Phuket Town to Patong ended with this chubby little gg. We negotiated a moterbike back that turned into a near catastrophe. The 200 baht fare that was agreed on at the taxi ranks on Bangla was compromised by a greasy Thai driver who came to a stop anout 1 k down the road. He told my pick-up he wanted 300 baht. Being new to Thailand I objected telling him that was bullshit we agreed 200 baht. He wouldn't budge I got loud and at one point it looked like he was going to come at me as he postered in a fighting position. I'm ready to throw an overhand right at this smallish bastard if he comes at me, while my pick-up is screaming and finally saves my ass probably when she gives him 50 baht to take us back to the taxi rank.
When we get there I go straight to the guy who looks to be in charge who gets us another reputable driver that takes us for the agreed price. Meanwhile this bastard is laughing and talking shit while I'm calling him a piece of shit. I was talking to a bar owner a few days later who alerted me not to ever confront Thais or get loud with them, and never ever get in a fight with them. He went on to tell me story after story about farangs getting beat-up, jailed, and mugged.
