The distance is 13 kilometres and the fare should have been about Bt160, but Kittipong refused to use the meter and demanded Bt2,000.

Should take  his licence away for good.

Time to stop this over-charging.

"The video drew negative comments from netizens who criticised the driver for overcharging the passenger and for not wearing a taxi driver uniform."

 

Is there a "Taxi driver uniform"? I've never seen one.

Well done to that tourist for reporting it.

The department urges the public who see any offence committed by taxi drivers to file complaints by calling 1584 and identifying the vehicle by its taxi registration plate.

2000 baht fine for  charging 2000 baht for 160 baht fare....  nice work if you can get it. 

 

I assume this is not the same guy who was charing 5000 baht for a ride from Impact MTT. 

 

Seems they are all at it, as if we ever believed any different !!!.. but the over-charging at MTT took it to new heights. 

 

Odds are he’s already ignored the driving ban already and is over-charging more customers to make up for the fine payment...
