Despite what we read in the news today, the Taxi's at Swampy are still trying the old meter scam.
Arrived at 6pm yesterday, with 2 Thai friends and acquired a taxi from the rank on the ground level. Hidden by a cloth was the meter reading 127 baht as we pulled away!!!!
Couple of quick words from my friends....lots of apologises and it was reset to the standard start of 37. Then he wondered and asked for a tip....is the guy real.
We posted the taxi slip this morning to the authorities......but not holding my breath.
Wonder if this deployment of officers etc will stop the practise....even if for a few days.
