My taxi: Kittisak's only way to earn a living
Kittisak drives for a living in Chiang Mai, and a broken radiator and cooling system has stopped all income for 4 weeks.

I make my living with my taxi. 4 weeks ago the radiator and cooling system failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $150. 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 younger brothers and sisters. Before the breakdown I worked ten hours a day, six days a week. I have been offered extra shifts for the next six months if I can just get the vehicle working.
I have a written estimate from a certified mechanic and will upload it here.
All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal.
Where the $150 goes:
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $85
• Labor charges: $55
• Towing and inspection: $10
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Thinking of you and your family, Kittisak. Hope this works out for you. Thinking of Chiang Mai.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Kittisak!
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. road tax and insurance renewal is the biggest at $85.
Best of luck, Kittisak. Hope you get there. I went through something like this 5 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless.
Good luck. I hope things turn around soon. I went through something like this 13 years ago and strangers helped me out!
