The good minister is twisting the truth.

Last fare high hike (12%) was 6 years ago and not 20.

New taxi fares take effect today

BANGKOK: -- Taxi fares started to rise on Wednesday on the average of 12 per cent per trip although the start-up charge for the first kilometer travelled remains at Bt35.

The new rates will start at 35 baht for the first kilometer, not two kilometers as before.

The fares will then be five baht a kilometer for the 2nd-12th kilometers, 5.50 baht a kilometer for the 12th-20th kilometers, six baht a kilometer for the 20th-40th kilometers, 6.50 baht a kilometer for the 40th-60th kilometers, 7.50 baht a kilometer for the 60th-80th kilometers and 8.50 baht a kilometre beyond that.

The new fares came into effect following the today's announcement in the Royal Gazette.

Not sure if they still operate. Things can change fast here in TH.

You should email or give them a call to clarify.

The base fare of 35 Baht is for the 1st km not for the 1st 3 km as mentioned by the taxi operators and it's not capped for a decade.

The last fare hike was 7 years ago. (2007)

Back then the base fare was kept at 35 Baht but the distances shortened.

Try Platinum Fashion Mall Pratunam

There is a bag store on the 3rd or 4th floor with retro airline bags on display.

West corner of the building A.

As most shops in Platinum, I am sure they will do made to order if the quantity is right.

Seismologist and AIT’s Coordinator of Structural Engineering Field of Study, Dr. Pennung Warnitchai, has cautioned against the possibility of an earthquake along the Srisawat faultline in Kanchanaburi province in Thailand.

Dr. Pennung said there is a “slight chance” that a massive earthquake along the Srisawat faultline would cause severe damage in Kanchanaburi itself, as well as in nearby provinces

Ain't gonna work.

I gave up biking in Bangkok after 3 accidents and countless near misses.

Too dangerous to deal with motorbikes, taxis, buses, cart vendors etc. not to mention the road conditions.

It's just a matter of time until you get hit.

First of all, if you have a marriage or retirement visa I seriously doubt you will have work permit issues.

You might want to check that again.

What happen to the wheelchair Madam PM?

'Election Commission chairman Supachai Somcharoen urged the voters to vote for good and qualified people into the Senate with conscience and without selling their votes.'

The candidate went from door to door handing over money to voters.

So much for clean polls.

No entirely correct.

Etihad is just replacing the service of partner airline Air Berlin from Abu Dhabi to Phuket from October 26, 2014.

Etihad in, Air Berlin out.
