Help Isaree replace the clutch assembly and return to work
Isaree drives for a living in Pattaya, and a broken clutch assembly has stopped all income for 8 weeks.
🇹🇭 Pattaya, Chonburi, Thailand1,058 views
I make my living with my taxi. 8 weeks ago the clutch assembly failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $400. Without the vehicle I earn nothing.
I have been borrowing from friends to pay rent, and now I have run out of people to ask.
I support my wife and our newborn. Before the breakdown I worked ten hours a day, six days a week. I have been offered extra shifts for the next four months if I can just get the vehicle working.
I have a written estimate from a certified mechanic and will upload it here.
I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update.
Where the $400 goes:
• clutch assembly replacement (parts): $175
• Labor charges: $105
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $80
• Towing and inspection: $40
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Thanks for sharing this, Isaree. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Thinking of Pattaya!
Hope things get better soon, Isaree. Small businesses are the heart of Pattaya. Hope you're open again soon. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from București
Sending good thoughts, Isaree. Your post was clear and honest. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
