dddave Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 Both Bolt & Grab base prices on supply/demand algorithms built in. Lot of people in town, super hot weather, probably unusually high demand. We'll see what the prices are for the same trip in July. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post QuantumQuandry Posted April 22 Popular Post Share Posted April 22 Just checked what a Bolt car costs to my normal place. It's more than double at 265. That's NYE level pricing. Checked 5 minutes later. Down to 120. Seems like just a momentary blip to me. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Classic Ray Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 Grab in Bangkok recently quoted me double the fare than LINE man for the same car journey a minute apart. I will keep comparing but Grab looks to be pricing itself out of the market. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Middle Aged Grouch Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 Also noticed the price increase in Hua Hin. Use social media to get private drivers offering rides for far cheaper rates all over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanadaSam Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 1- Try Maxim, you would have to wait a bit longer, but price much cheaper. 2- Try after a few minutes on Bolt, their prices change almost every few minutes! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHdiver Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 Yesterday from Central to Jomtien 96 Baht (Bolt Car). That was not more then I paid in November last year. Maybe there was no cheaper option available? After all there are different Car categories to choose from (or not if that categorie is not around). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Guderian Posted April 24 Popular Post Share Posted April 24 I used Bolt to go to Marco's last night at 19:00, the price was around 80 Baht, the same as usual give or take 5 Baht. I always give these underpaid drivers a nice tip, so made it 120 Baht each way. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
