Mate and I had a taxiride from Pattaya to Bangkok to Suvarnaboom Airport few years ago. The happy idiot ran out of fuel twice between Patts and Bangkok, despite passing numerous Stations who stocked their LPG alternative, and us encouraging him to refuel. My pal was now running very late for his work flight to the mid east, after we ran out in rice-paddy ville on a forced detour from main drag in Chon Buri. Happy Idiot wanders off down the road, leaves us in the sweltering midday Sunday, re appears 20 mins later on the back of some farms yokels moto with literally 500mls of juice, now running so late that that we have to bypass my drop off in Bangkok and deposit stressed mate at check-in. Luckily he made it on flight, then we continue on Motorway from Airport to Bangers and fack me he justabout runs out again, so we divert down a side road for a km to fuel up for the third time....we did want to kill that driver ( but spotted a rusty Boxcutter in his easy reach, so thought better of assault and Taxi jacking!), and I've never struck that level of stupidity in a driver in Cambo. We were also massively massively hungover. It was ridiculous.
