Apparently that Indrive has been around for a while. Dont think anyone will be remotely surprised either if Bolt continues to operate after a few bungs and promises of now acting by the licence and rules

Good news re that Indrive Managed to get it working and after confirming my location (rather than app indicating I was in UK) as Laguna Maldives Jomtien and wanting to go Henrys Bar opposite start of Soi Bongkot it came up at 98 Baht with 4 drivers available Now under Bolt that same trip was virtually identical ranging from 90 Baht to 110 Baht normally Also time od day allowing for time difference is virtually identical as real time now. Looks like an alternative should Bolt stop is already in place currently

Out of interest I tried to register for that Indrive app Initially it wanted a UK mobile number (am surmising app could detect I was in UK) so entered and clicked.....it claimed it was sending through a 4 digit code via Whatsapp Didnt come through so clicked resend but this time red lettering came up "Telegram app not detected on phone" No idea what thats about Maybe someone in Thailand can download and try with a Thai number

Yet again another troll adds a stupid emoji for no reason...utterly boring even more so that under the context of the thread was trying to offer an alternative Danger to Mods reading this is the original poster aborts the forum altogether. You surely can see who adds these emoji Or add the name to the emoji so the cretin can be subsequently blocked Thats a very polite response

On the Asean forum over Bolts (possible) demise another ride hailing app is being suggested "Indrive" I've downloaded it but without being in Thailand have no personal experience

Lets hope they can sort this out. Where I stayed in Condo before and where I want to again really requires Bolt or similar if I'm with someone. If I'm out locally in Jomtien and going home alone no problem I can and do walk but cant expect some girl to do likewise As an example getting from Rhompoo markets bars back to Laguna Maldives would be nigh on impoosible trying to get a baht bus......(I refuse to use motorbikes unless absolutely necessary) Grab when I downloaded the app before seemed very expensive by comparison

Thread over on Asean under Visdo News and Updates sub section

Appears that Bolt may well have licence revoked this May as so many of the drivers didnt comply with the requested changes previously That is not good at all

Have to say I never put my middle name into the booking form. Never ever had a problem personally

There are 2 tiny swimming pools on ground floor which only catch the sun certain times of day When I looked around (few years ago now) our sub continent friends were everywhere

Reading elsewhere all seems as before

Interesting the thread over there....so many saying the same that doubtless it will be ignored lol

Unless I've missed it I cant see anything as yet over on Asean Now Would have thought it would be a massive thread (there may well be lol) but I cant see it as yet

Which I refuse to use except in emergency I could baht bus it in say 2 stages but the loss of Bolt will be catastrophic for many....go out the front of Maldives and inaviabiy 10 or so people waiting for Cars which inaviably appear every couple minutes....my condo contract ends on October 18th and really dont want to move I can see a compromise happening

It would really cock up my social life with the location of my Condo Maldives 3 in Jomtien I can walk from there to Rhompoo bars no problem and frequently do when on my own and also back home but no girl will walk that far nor would I expect them to Getting somewhere like Soi Bongkot would be a nightmare
