So I fly in 3 weeks ago and have a room booked with voucher and I'm supposed to meet the driver at the airport to transfer me to the hotel...Low and behold the useless prick isn't there. I go walking out with just a little bag and myself and get the usual s*** from the taxi MAFIA and tell them I got a car coming....Here's the good pert as the security situation is becoming an issue they've got this little navy guy guarding the entrance to the exit and of course me beiing half in the bag I decide to re-enter with hopes of finding the driver, well the little fellow grabs me and tries to push me out (big mistake) so I push him out and the door closes. Now I have their attention for sure judging by the look of shock on their faces (all around) so he comes in the other way and I exit through the exit door and pomptly hail a Taxi and once I'm in he refuses to leave yammering on about the Police must come see me, of course little Navy man is right outside the cab waving his Baton like a cheerleader. So I get out my trusty mobile and call my good friend the Captain from Khoa Lak Naval base and tell him of the assault on me by his Petty Officer and he says give the Taxi driver the phone....Well ol Taxi boy starts stuttering and jumps out of the car to talk with the Petty Officer who promptly turns white as a ghost when the phone is handed to him and well I get my phone back and my friend tells me I should go and we will meet later to go whoring.....After the little problems and what not I had possibly the fatest taxi ride to Patong ever! With no stops anywhere but 7/11 for beer.
Moral of the story DO NOT MAKE A STAND IN THAILAND UNLESS YOU HAVE FRIENDS AND CASH
