Unfortunately a sizable portion of the Bangkok taxis will attempt to take advantage of foreigners. It was a very rare occasion not to step into a taxi and have them claim the meter did not work and wanting an outrageous fixed price for a fare. Or they only wanted a very cheap fare but wanted to take you to the cousin's shop in return for the favor. Be firm about the meter ( it is always cheaper than the price they quote) and don't be afraid to get out of the taxi and flag another.

Traffic in Bangkok is horrible. It can take half an hour for a cab ride of a couple of miles. Try and take the skytrain when possible and if the destination is close, you are better off walking.

You must have a big stamp on your forehead that says, "Take Advantage of Me" because I've lived in Bkk for five years and rarely have this problem with taxis.... | Doempie Thu Mar 13, 2008 06:24 UTC
I'm going to Thailand in 3 weeks for 3 weeks!!! Very excited! Thanks for all the great tips! |
