GiantFan Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 Grabtaxi very good. Download the App. Cash payment, versus CC on Uber. Coverage is improving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

user82374298374 Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 No Uber in Thailand, tried but gov regulations seemed to doom them. Declared illegal in Thailand Novemeber 2014 That's really interesting, since I used Uber in Bangkok last night. People really should get their facts straight so that they don't inadvertently provide misinformation to those who are seeking useful advice.

I guess living in Kata on phuket causes fantasies I guess I was only recording what was stated in various repected newspapers ... http://www.reuters.com/article/2014/12/09/us-thailand-uber-idUSKBN0JN0PZ20141209 http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2014/dec/09/uber-taxis-ban-spain-thailand On digging further today I did read a report that Uber had just illegally ignored the Thailand ban http://tech.thaivisa.com/uber-ignores-thailand-ban/646/ But I guess this only applies to Bangkok, so thanks for clearing up my error.

Since Uber is still illegal in Thailand and this is the Phuket forum where they are not active, why provide misinformation here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shiver Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Only heard of it in BKK, and the reports have been impressive. Hope it (and others like it) spread to other areas soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
