Currently in Thailand and wanted to share something that happened so others can be careful.
We booked a Bolt in Bangkok. Driver arrived, we loaded all our luggage, we’re traveling with an infant. Then he cancels the ride in the app and says he’ll take us directly for the same price.
Since everything was already in the car and we had a baby with us, we agreed.
About 30 minutes in, he pulls over in a relatively isolated area and says his car “can’t go to Bangkok at this price” and that we’re being transferred to another car. The second car was much smaller, which made things even more uncomfortable with luggage and a baby.
We felt pretty helpless at that point.
Not saying this reflects Thailand as a whole. We’ve met many kind people here. But this was stressful and could have gone worse.
Just a heads up: don’t let drivers cancel in the app and continue the ride offline, especially if you’re in a vulnerable situation.
