5 signs your 3000 baht alternative taxi driver is going to do the Fast & Furious on you.

As we await Tony Jaa's appearance on 7,

I had a taste of Fast & Furious - the Hatyai edition.

By the way , I'm not making this up . Really happened to us on a return trip when all the taxis and vans were fully booked.

Here are the signs 

1. You will pay 3000 baht for the transfer and your driver might be half of Tony Jaa's size , skinny and lean.

2. High chance he will be driving a modified car with Thai plates and low skirting

3. When you get inside and you see cheap racing seats, please say your prayers and buckle the hell up

4. Each time your driver turns to you, he will be epitome

of The Land of Smiles.

5. Each time he turns away from you,

he looks at the road ahead like this. 

He : No smiles. Full concentration. 

You : holding your breath and stepping on imaginary brakes in the carpet but trying not to look distressed , acting tough like Vin Diesel down there, even though it takes just one flip for all of you to kaboom .

It takes between 3 to 4 hours via van from Hatyai to Penang. He got us back home in 2 and a half hours. 

Yeah . Believe it. 

Who to contact : I don't want to tell you. Just ask around and see if you get 'lucky '
