Taxi BKK to Silom

Recommended Posts

Posted

I hate it when they don't turn the meter on and quote ridiculous prices and hope they don't try it on me when I arrive (too late for the train), the reason I gave up using taxis when in Bangkok, once when hailing them from outside the Raya about 5 pulled up and the first words out of the drivers were ridiculous prices for the journey. After that day my use of taxis were airport to hotel and hotel to airport, BTS, MRT and river boat get me everywhere I need to go in Bangkok.

It happened to me twice at early morning hours but I declined and told driver to stop and got out. In few minutes I was sitting in meter turned on vehicle as in Bangkok one is never fast from free taxi. 

On another hand if they quote up to 500 I find it acceptable considering that meter   is at least 280 plus 75 for tolls and going from the airport also 50 airport fee.

Like you I only use taxi if public transport is not operating or during heavy rainfall
