fire and ice Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 I've lived here 2.5 years and never had a taxi driver refuse to switch the meter on. In fact I never even have to ask. The secret is to flag down taxis and not get in one that is just waiting outside a hotel or tourist attraction. Speaking Thai usually helps too. HaHa ...my wife is Thai and she is pretty good with the language. Sorry pal ... speaking Thai does not make a difference. I beg to differ IMHO it differs a lot. It does not mean you wont get bad taxis just less. Sent from my GT-I9300 using Thaivisa Connect App Try getting a taxi from say KSR, the airport, or from next to a major tourist attraction and speak English to them. They will often assume you are a tourist who does not know meters have to be on etc. But if you speak Thai they won' t bother wasting time trying to fool you as they assume you are not a tourist and therefore know the rules on switching the meter on.

frankold Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 NEWS FLASH!Person actually does the job he's paid to do, and puts up a sign! It's not too often you come across someone capable of this. I guess he will be up for some sort of award too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
