Dear Thailand [Day 8: Taxi = Death]

Did I ever mention how crazy the taxi drivers here are?

Me and Nina almost died multiple times driving to and back to Siam Paragon Mall.
They drive extremely fast....then people cut or hit the brakes...which then the taxi driver will hit the brakes and make the car go squealing and us flying [without seat belts]

Honestly, can't you please give us seat belts?
Actually, the first taxi that had seatbelts didn't have a buckle (or it was hiding), and then turns out the driver's speedometer was broken. 0 mph? Great!

  • How much pink can fit in a picture?
    there's plenty of taxi colors to choose from! Red, orange, pink, yellow, green, blue, and white. If you want, theres also two tone taxis of white and pink, yellow and green, blue and pink, etc.

  • Taxi motorcyclists at your service!
    If you are traveling alone and need a taxi, why not find a pink vest or yellow vest person to take you home?
  • How about taking a tuk tuk?
    If you have two riders, take one of these!
  • After the taxi death ride = Siam Paragon Mall
    VERY high end luxurious mall with the rich name brand clothing! Why were we there? Cheapest thing I saw was 2,000 baht shirt. [around $60] The property is owned by the King's sister...so definitely expect expensive stuff.
  • A LAMBORGHINI!
    One floor had some gorgeous cars =D
  • Mini Coopers in the US are cheaper...
    Trust me! [One was $94,000]


  • Food court had plenty of asian food to try!
    I went with green noodles w/ roast duck



  • Found a cutie
    this boy is for you Jen, don't you want to take him?!



  • Had to meet dad's friend
my dad effin sprinted through the streets and I happen to come across a Nissan GT-R... damnnn, wish I got a better pic. [name on the car was Godzilla]

  • Met dad's friends @ MBK shopping center
    was 5 stories high. Most malls here have a ridiculous amount of floors

  • Excuse me? I have to pay to get into the bathroom?
    Apparently, at the MBK center, you do! 2 baht because they have soap and toilet paper. wtfz, the other malls have the same thing and it was free!
  • Lazy?
    Don't be lazy, cause there really are cute people here in Thailand XD Ahh, they certainly have good style. Both guys and gals =]
  • On our way home in the taxi death
Saw the outside of the King's palace with guards out front.
Did you know before you watch a movie in the theater there is a King video that plays? You have to stand during that video. He's literally everywhere. In fact, there's two King calendars in front of my face.

Why does our dad speak so loud on the phone?
Even in a simple convo with you, he will YELL.





WELCOME TO THAILAND'S TAXIS!
