Toom or Doom?

[charlie298 0]

Mr Toom efficiently picked me up on time from Don Muang on 25th September heading for Patts.

 

Having made many trips on this stretch of the highway to Paradise, I always thought the Highway Demon would finally get me, and it did.

 

Smacked up the arse by a small truck which was following too close behind, as was also the case with Mr. Tooms taxi, following too close to the vehicle in front, but it could have been a lot worse! and no one was injured.

 

Mr Toom eventually was able to arrange a replacement taxi, so good for mr Toom, however arriving 2 hours later than scheduled into Pattaya was not my ideal start.

 

Return trip with Mr Toom?, I passed on that, I think maybe my reserves of luck were running low, but then..

 

Lucky to meet a nice Nurse from Banglamung Hospital who took me to the new airport for free, lucky me... but thats another story......

Sorry to hear you had an accident.

I will use Mr Tooms service again for sure, cant really blame the "Toom service" as he has a few drivers and it was only "ONE" of his drivers you had a bad time with.

I deliver booze everyday in a wagon here in the uk and i see good and bad drivers all the time, driving too close to each other, crossing 3 lanes to make an exit. i get a good view of the idiots on the road because im high up. expensive cars, clapped out bangers.. good and bad drivers in both.

 

Could of been a limo service that cost 5000bht, but the driver could still be rubbish.

 

Im not having a go at you and i hope you dont take it that way, there have been many mixed reports of Tooms service..... if people dont like how a driver is driving tell them.

 

hope your ok anyways

So that would be Mr. Tooms fault?

6 of one and a half a dozen of the other. Doesn't matter much which way you get to and from the airport I figure your odds are equal no matter who the driver is.

Spot on, that's why I asked the question. A little confused. Maybe the way I read the post.

Two times I have had a driver who drives way too fast, and way too close, to the car in front of me going to pattaya. Both times (different drivers) I have asked him to slow down and stay further away from the car in front, both times my wish was granted with apologies.

 

I arrived safe both times feeling more relaxed.

 

Just tell them your wishes and I'm sure they are happy to follow. I think most drivers feel they need to get you there quickly for you to be happy with them. For me this is not so.
