Subject: Safety and Billing Concerns – Grab Service in Chiang Mai and Krabi To the Grab Support Team, When I first learned about Grab while traveling in Chiang Mai and Krabi, I was genuinely excited. I appreciated the idea of using a local transportation platform and contributing to the system and economy there. At the beginning, the service functioned smoothly. However, that changed. There are several unknown charges currently appearing on my account. I will be reviewing each charge carefully once I am fully settled back in the United States, and I will be disputing any fees that were unauthorized or unclear. While many of the drivers were professional and kind, there were moments that raised serious safety concerns. Some motorbikes did not appear fully secure or properly maintained. Additionally, the most troubling issue was the inconsistency in your address system. There were instances where Grab did not properly recognize or map locations that Google Maps clearly identifies. For travelers, this is not a minor inconvenience. It is a safety issue. It is unacceptable for customers to be charged extra fees without clear explanation. It is unacceptable for rides to be upgraded without consent. Transparency is essential. The most concerning experience occurred in Krabi, where I was dropped off in a dark parking area. The driver parked at a distance, and we had to walk through a poorly lit space. The ride was later canceled. Situations like that can easily escalate into unsafe circumstances. Thankfully, nothing happened, but that does not minimize the risk involved. I want to be clear: not all of my experiences were negative. Many were smooth and professional. However, safety and billing transparency are non-negotiable. Those standards must be consistent. Please review your systems, your mapping accuracy, and your billing practices. If Grab positions itself as a reliable transportation platform, then safety and clarity must be prioritized at every level. I will be reviewing my account thoroughly and expect transparency regarding all charges. I hope meaningful improvements are made. Travelers rely on your service. Safety must come first. Sincerely, Angelic
