 Bangkok taxi fare is much cheaper than in other countries and competition is stiff with low entry bar. If fare rates are higher and taxi license revoked if caught scamming, you get a more well behaved crowd. 

Bangkok Taxi fare much cheaper than many developed countries but not the cheapest in the region!

    "Its the first time ive used this fake meter" = "im not a hooker, im just the receptionist at this gogobar"    

  • Yes, it’s quite likely a modification on many taxis if it’s an easy fit which I’d say is quite likely. I doubt he’s the only one using it.  Well done the policeman.

Shanghai taxis also have gps installed so the company has knowledge of your car location at any time. 

As do the camera-equipped Bangkok taxis.

 

It is what it is, it blows but the fares are still cheap compared to where most of us come from.

 

 

Just be up front.

Bangkok Taxis App

Please choose your preferred scam.

(Please note we are an equal opportunity scammer, we scam everyone - Farang 10% surcharge)

 

   No change, No QR code, No bank account, No phone. 

   No Meter          - I forgot to turn the meter on, the tasseled magic mat with all figurines covered it, too late now 200 baht.

   FU Tour Time   - You know <insert street>? No?, this best way, very good, no traffic, toll very fast.. You can see building over there? in the opposite direction? no this is other building. this best way.

   Turbo Meter     - No, meter is okay, you have a lot of luggage, makes the car heavy, meter <shakes hand at meter>  knows. The rain too. What's that clicking sound every few minutes? This old car.

 

 

Bless em' the rascals, plus if it actually requires some technical ingenuity, and considering the education most get here, hacking a taxi meter albeit crudely get some points.

 

 

 

Pattaya taxis chargé much more than any Bangkok cab.  As for Phuket , multiply that by at least three.,
