grumpyoldman Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 Did use the search before posting because I know metered taxis at the airport has been covered ad nauseum....but....was unable to locate the time when the stand closes. So i will ask you polite fellow TV posters the question, what time does the stand close up? Thanks in advance, GOM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LivinginKata Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 We flew in very late one night about 23.30. Meter taxi guy told my wife he was the last taxi for the night. For sure he was the only one at the meter taxi stand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CFC Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 (edited) Phuket Shuttle offer good rates which are fixed and you can book on the internet without having to enter your credit card details. Great Service. I highly recommend. Edited August 9, 2014 by CFC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grumpyoldman Posted August 10, 2014 Author Share Posted August 10, 2014 (edited) Hmmmmmmm...........a 23:15 arrival which could easily become 24:00 plus clearing immigration,guess I'll need to line up a private scenario or take CFC's advice on the Phuket Shuttle. Thanks again,GOM Edited August 10, 2014 by grumpyoldman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theonetrueaussie Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 metered taxis have not changed, I went to the metered taxi stand on my return to be told 900 baht to rawai. Guy had his meter on until he got past the police/army checkpoint at the exit from the airport then turned it off. I did return at 5pm and traffic was horrendous, I think the driver was thinking he should have used the meter lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simon43 Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 There is no hard and fast time for the Taximeter office to close at night - it depends on customer demand. Last night when I went to the airport at 1.30am, the taximeter office was 'bustling' - plenty of passengers and taximeter cars. What I do know is that - for some weird reason - the taximeter office is not allowed to operate 24/7. It seems to close after dealing with passengers off the flight from Chiang Mai that arrives at 00.50. If you arrive on one of the Far-East flights between 2-5am, then that office is likely to be closed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
