Hey Guy,  Rent a bicycle for B50 a day.  The less I interact with taxi and tuk tuk drivers, the happier I remain.

Who in the world gets a cab to go 1 Km?

Virtually all Thai females :they get a cab or win for anything over 300m(less than that if the sun is shining and they don't have an umbrella :dam dam)

Try coming to Phuket.

No thank you. I understand your jibe at the Phuket transport monopoly; I avoid the place and warn my friends to give it a pass as well.

The article questions the fare and not the distance. His business taking transport for 1 km.

I so prefer negotiating with the red trucks

You should never negotiate with the red trucks, you just ask them for your destination and if the driver nods, just hop in the back and pay 20 baht when you get off.

 

And never ever take a car that sits waiting on the curb, they're tourist rip-offs.

Last year in Pattaya,  or actually in Jomtien Beach it was 100 baht to take a 10 baht pickup

taxi off route for 2 kms.

I agree. The only problem with the taxi and tuk tuk drivers is they seem very keen to want to interactive with cyclists. They're a big fan of dangerously overtaking and then stopping right in front of cyclists to pick up a fair. Usually they like to do this at times where there are lots of signs saying not to stop. Huntz with a k.

I paid 72 thb for a meter on a 7 km ride in BKK the other day.
