Drama “Oppa Hong”, a famous Korean YouTuber. Post a clip of a trip to Ayutthaya. Found a local tuk tuk selling a 4-hour tour for 1,200 baht. The tuk tuk side insists on standard prices.
On February 26, 2024, it was reported that it became a drama issue in the online world when Oppa Hong or “P’Hong” Rapper and YouTuber Famous Korean Publish a video clip via YouTube: Oppa Hong takes you on a tour of the province. Ayutthaya But I found a local tuk tuk that charged a high price.
Recently, Pol. Lt. Col. Thanakorn Thammetha, Inspector of the Royal Thai Army’s 1st Battalion, 2nd Battalion, Royal Thai Army’s 1st Battalion, went to inspect the tuk tuk terminal area in front of the Ayutthaya Railway Station and met with Mrs. Somjit, age 59, his wife. A tourist tuk tuk driver who has been in a scandal over his rates and the use of police logos as a guarantee. until causing misunderstandings
Initially, the police recommended that the Tourist Police logo be removed. Because it is not allowed to be attached As for the price rate, will it be cheap or expensive? Must wait for relevant agencies to come and inspect. If there is an offense, there will be punishment.
Upon questioning, Mrs. Somchit revealed that about a week ago Two tourists came to inquire about Grab. Which I myself recommended to walk a little further. But tourists didn’t go. Then there was a discussion and agreement on the price. The tourists would rent for 4 hours, and they were told that 1 hour is 300 baht. If 4 hours is 1,200 baht, divided between two people, it would be 600 baht each, causing a drama as to whether the price was too high or not. He confirmed that he and her husband have careers as drivers. Tuk Tuk for 30 years has never been complained about, never criticized, and has never charged tourist prices in any way. The price is at the standard rate specified by the transportation route. After becoming a streamer, he felt sorry for the incident.
As for Mr. Sittichai, 49 years old, a tuk tuk driver. Asking to be a representative of the tuk tuk driving profession, he said that from the current drama, there were people who commented and criticized that There is an overcharge for that. He confirmed that the said price is the standard price. which has signed an MOU together The transportation provider specifies the wage rate. In which case it may be a misunderstanding. It may be explained to tourists and they don’t understand. which is the rental price per car The rate for Thai people is 200 baht per hour, while for foreign tourists the price is 300 baht per hour. It is a chartered vehicle.
But in this case, there are 2 foreign tourists coming together and dividing it up will cost 600 baht each, making it look expensive. And is there price gouging? But I want to look at it from the opposite perspective. If 6-8 tourists come and rent by the hour in the form of chartering a car for 300 baht per hour, for 4 hours it will cost only 200 to 150 baht.
In this regard, the reporter inquired with the Transport Department of Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya Province. Because today is a holiday which provides preliminary information that The said rate of 300 baht per hour, the rate calculated for foreign tourists, is within the standard price. The MOU has been signed together. which must have a clearly written sign at the specified price rate only
However, tomorrow I will go to the area where the incident occurred and discuss recommendations for talking to tourists so that there are no misunderstandings. In order not to have an impact on Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya Province.
