try Uber application, it should be launched for awhile in Bangkok.

E-class and New camry provided. Good luck and hope it help.

How on earth did you find TV to post this stupid question ? I've been travelling LOS for over 8 years & living here now for 4 months. I know about 6 Thai words & none have anything to do with travel.

As others have said, get hotel to write it for you. Ask driver do they speah English. Take a photo. Print off the address in Thai. I regurarly go up to a hotel reception desk & either ask for directions or if they would mind writing an address in Thai for me. NEVER been refused. Ask any hotel reception to call you a taxi & tell them where you wish to go. Most pharmacies have an english speaking pharmacist. Whilst it's not perfect English to Thai translation on any computer will solve 99% of your destination issues. It really ain't rocket science.

Your g/f must worry about you !

Sorry about my negativity.... just that some questions do make one wonder.

So in a nutshell....you're a sex tourist who can speak basic bar girl...six words...beer chang..boom.boom..my hotel. Your hotel reception has photos/maps of Nana Plaza/ Soi Cowboy that they can give you. You can ask a pharmacist for Viagra.

Not knocking you mate...just filing away for future reference and use

No, actually now living in a rural area outside Chiang Mai. Have passed through Pattaya, not my scene at all. Don't know the red light areas of Bangkok at all. Have never used viagra. Just wonder how anyone can arrive in avery large cosmopiliton city & not have a basic idea of how they will get about.

From your comments sounds like you have experience as a sexpat. I married a Thai lady with teenage kids. Did the usual bit, built the family a home & paid their debts. You reall don't have a clue.

Does "Mudcrab" have any relationship to your IQ or lifestyle ?

Usually I have little trouble communicating a destination if it's some reasonably common place in Bangkok, but a couple of times I've been successful using the Map app on my tablet to show a taxi driver where I wanted to go. (If it's your hotel of course, you should always carry one of its business cards.)

You married a Thai with teenage kids and paid off their debts and built a home for their extended family. Does that have any relationship to your IQ?

When you do find your taxi make sure he uses the fare meter rather than quoting you a price.

Initially this will show ฿35 but it's pretty cheap to go anywhere in BKK.

Wait...how DO you say boom-boom?

Do like I did for my first 10 years or so, rent you one of those little 'walking-talking dictionaries'. You can find them in all the bars in Thailand. Hope your luck is better than mine if you decide to marry one of them. Assuming your girlfriend will be open-minded about it also.

Mostly just kidding but it really did work for me the first few years...............

Funny, though I think a lot missed it

Wow great advice

we do abuse better. next time press the red button instead

what a dick....

Work on your Tinglish

Whenever in foreign countries have the hotel get you the taxi and always keep the hotel name and location in the local language with you!

Sent from my iPhone using Thaivisa Connect Thailand

Get a business card from the hotel. Have the hotel write down where you want to go on the back.

Round trip, handled.

Enjoy your visit!

Edit: Forget all the crap you read about maps. They navigate by nearby landmarks here, not by maps.

Sorry, more more edit: The taxis that sit stationary in front of your hotel- generally best to avoid them, regardless of how friendly they seem. They'll charge you a lot more than a taxi you'll flag down. My own policy is that I rarely even try a stationary taxi anywhere in BKK, better luck flagging down a moving one. Not universally true, but I have have fewer taxi problems if I act as if it is.
