Thread: Taxis at the airport

I think its 37 baht now not 35 baht minimum charge but link below gives a rough idea excluding toll.
THB

The queue to metered taxis has always been fast and no trouble for me.

But if you go out some of the other entrances there are lurking taxis who wants 500 for a fare to Sukumivit.

I know it's 35.

There is a discussion to take it to 40, but the government minister probably hasn't inured out how to channel 20% of that into his personal accounts.

You sat in a taxi for 20 whole minutes arguing? After 30 seconds you get out if they are still refusing.

it need not. just stroll up a floor to the departure area & grab a taxi dropping off his fare, usually a teary eyed besotted farang & his new found love 'bargirl'. works for me everytime, no queuing & no fee

only 2 times i have ever had trouble coming from the airport were the two times i did this.

false economy, the only reason i would do it again is an exceedingly long queue

Never do it any other way...... Never had a problem other than a request for a fixed price which has been politely denied. At that point I leave or they turn on the meter.

Except that evidently it's "safer" to take it from the correct area as you get a receipt with the driver's number etc. By the way, a tip for females moving around at night and needing a taxi is to go to a 4-5 star hotel lobby (if possible) and ask the bellman to hail a taxi. He'll record the number of the cab in the concierge logbook and give you a slip of paper in case you have problems. The pick-up is probably also on CCTV. Make sure you have a tip in hand.

You mean Sukhumband hasn't figured out how to add it to his KSR account. I believe the taxi fares in Bangkok are a civic responsibility-oversight.

Whoever is responsible, each and every one of them is a corrupt muthaf***ers.

As always

Oh shit yes I must agree,

When I Jewed down the Taxi for a cheap fare it was at drop off and he really got his money back in the scare factor driving me into Town.

Just pay the correct money at the Taxi stand and bolt off to where you want to go. No probs what so ever.

Too easy innit.

Look, one cannot argue with the above post as its true Innit.

Ain't nothing wrong with Mongering tourists as its a part of life but when the mongering scum start crying about the price of a taxi fare into Monger Central its a bit of a giggle.

I mean fok me EH.

The mongers pay more for a few lady drink's than a taxi from Swampy so who gives a fuk EH. ??????

Foking Nana Eh,

Throttlers fly 15 hours across the world to meet there favorite bar girl and they crack the shits about a taxi fare.

Mongering scum you prick and establish your facts first knob

And the hilarious or maybe sick part is the OP and his pals are the kind of scum, where 3 of them will wait in the room while one goes out and barfines a lady and brings her back to share with his scummy pals and expects the lady to service them all for the same price, Russians, Indians, Arabs all have been known to pull this rather slimy trick.

Bit strong Earl, the guy says he has his wife with him. Quite probably the other two are children.

I know most of you couldn't afford it but Nana does have the JW Marriott and the Landmark you know......

Seems to me that people assume Nana only means the Entertainment Plaza..... What does that sy about them?

^oops I missed the part that his wife was with him,


Anyway carry on y'all.

I go straight to nana from the airport and have never done any whore mongering in nana. Landmark is a great hotel with top quality food available in and around the hotel.

The mongers whinge less than the gap year kiddies and greying wannabe hippies that infest khao san road

For those getting ripped off, I offer these timeless words of wisdom:

"A fool and his money are soon parted".
