Flip side to most of these comments is who is the one in the right ?? i have never seen a sign in a tuk tuk saying 200baht maximum fare in patong ! and if they where all hurded together in a hall and shown how to be polite  these problems would rarely arise ie: why should it be on the shoulders of the customer to ask the price if there is no signs with fare amounts,you get in tell him where you want to go he turns around and says 100baht or 150 baht etc. agree or haggle !! not you get in he says nothing and trys to extort you at the other end that just goes to show they are all crooks ! so now it is a haggle at the other end if he doesnt like it tuff shit he should of opened his mouth at the begining and been straight ! its just a shame the german just didnt boot him out and take his tuk tuk for a spin for the driver being such a crook !!

Sorry its not gonna save you any money as such but the one thing that is cheaper is YOUR LIFE !

Yer thanks for that lopburi i got told some thing like that but did not understand what i needed to get translated from my passport and what office i needed to got to in bangkok so basicly its get a copy of my passport certified at the embassy and then get it translated and notarized into thai and then take it to the ministry of foreign affairs. Do i need to take proof of where i live with me or not ?

what documents where needed other than passport ? thanks

No we are in thailand and it was me who caused the badness, just being an arse i suppose ! But it's all sorted now and cleared up !. She wasnt being sneaky just covering her back incase i really wanted to be an arse as she has no access to my funds but i know her friends would of lent her the money if needed so as she could go back to the u.k . Thanks for all the advice ! feel free to close this thread mods.
