We were in Bangkok for a few days. Had to take Taxi to go around town since our hotel was not in the centre. We had the city map with us, and we knew where we were going and where we were. The taxi driver just took us around the city in circles. When we should turn right, he turned left and things like that. Eventually we got off the taxi near the place we were heading for and paid him about 2/3 of the fare then walked to our destination. We ended up leaving our wallet in the taxi. ( My husband was so upset that he forgot his wallet inside and didn't realise till we needed his wallet.) My suggestion is if you are planning on visiting the city, try stay near the bus station or subway. So you can actually not having to be scammed.

farang1937 Tue Nov 25, 2008 04:53 UTC Yes, some taxi driver's are crooks. I've been here 6 years and have met them on several occasions. What surprises me the most is the fact that they are not somehow controlled by the police. | DKBK Mon Apr 28, 2008 12:37 UTC In Bangkok, we call that bad karma - both on the part of the taxi driver (he'll get his) but for you, too, for losing your wallet because you didn't give the driver the full fare. | steelethom Tue Sep 9, 2003 04:25 UTC you express yourself beautifully, making the world a better place . keep it up | MacKiwi Tue Jun 11, 2002 00:50 UTC Beautiful!! |
