^ Here we go...

Any bag with all that inside stays with me, by my side

Another nice taxi tale, that's a relief after the recent stories of groping, mugging taximen ...

There's one getting ready to expose himself somehwere I reckon

meh.. luke warm on the sarcasm... 6/10... come on guys, you can do better...
(where are Tex/SA?)

^555 we train as much as we can, but we all have our slow days

In related news, over 6 billion people around the world went about their daily life today without claiming something that didn't belong to them.

^ Yeah, true that bro..

My step-dad, left $30,000 in his wallet on top of the car to take a call...

He drove off..

I found the wallet first.

I handed it back to my step-dad.

I honestly believe that when I have done something good, next week a big job/project will come through and I get double back in profit, what I could have stolen/scammed, etc...

I'm more Thai than Kiwi, I know..

6 days man 6 days to spread the good news. prolly had to hunt him down.

^ Right, it's about time to set-up some kind of "not-embelishing thailand image" offense to go after those who fail to timely share nice stories on social networks, with journalists or the TAT.

Somebody on here predicted a good taxi story would be along shortly, and it's happened, he's a clairvoyant.
