I guess we have to see it positive that those illegal taxis won't be missed because there are so many legal overcharging taxis...

Why does this even make the news? Everyone recognizes that the management of Phuket and the services there, are controlled by only a few....encroachment of these services is forbidden. Surprising that these few drivers have not been beaten up for their sins!
