Tuk Price War

[LotNoiKop]

Look, there are some stated prices like at Big C/Lotus... A month or so all the Tukies parked on Bangla to protest closing off of the street. Well since I cannot reach my final piont of have to walk to either end of Bangla shouldn't pay less...

Yep, and I got the price too.

Spat back in thai...cqan make the price lower, I don't want. 80 baht?

OK was the response everytime. I have had many a TG tell the driver for thai price but he points to the Farang...oops

If everybody will justy ask for a cheaper price it will go down....

If the price to Big C is 200 Baht from Patong why pay 100 Baht from Bangla to Sea Pearl?????

Don't Pay

This is possible to do and if everybody played there part im confident that we would get there, or at least see a reduction ! Firstly when after you ask for a price purposly make it obvious that you prefer a motorbike Taxi, let the driver actually see you as you walk over to a motorbike ! Of cousre be suttle, dont walk away sticking 2 fingers up at him !! People say well what is the alternative, simple MOTORBIKES !!! Do you really need a Tuk tuk from Bangla to Seaparl ? Why cant you walk ?

Everybody should go out of there way to tarnish them as much as possible, I dont mean walk down rath-u-thit road waving banners, just by simply spreading the word. Every tourist you speak to tell them, educate them !

Just say no !!

However while they maintain thier influence to keep meter taxi's off the streets, what does a family or goup have as a transport alternative...
