On social media, a Thai man shared the story of his new neighbor, a Bangkok taxi driver with a great attitude who never rejects passengers.
Facebook user Nattapol Mookkhun shared a photo of his neighbor with his green-yellow taxi, which circulated on Facebook last week. The taxi is full of messages written in permanent markers such as “No need to ask, I’m going,” and “Free rides for border soldier and police. Show your card if you want free service.”
The taxi driver, later identified as Theerapong Saenseeha, 42, said he gives free taxi service to border soldiers and police in order to show his support to those who serve the country because sometimes it just feels good to give, Daily News reported.
“I believe that people should think about doing good and actually doing it. It’s what makes me happy. The fare is not a lot of money. I want to send my support to the border troops with free rides,” Theerapong said.
“I think that sometimes we need to forget about profits. These days, many people in our society are greedy. If they all learned to give, they would know how happy it’d make them. Don’t let money define you,” he added.
Bangkok needs more drivers like Theerapong and he deserves a big fat tip.
