STEELINOX Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 I would like to give the cabbie ngun in advance of using the toll road; so how do you tell him "this is for the tolls!" Thanks, Randy BTW, I just got up and it is 45 degrees F outside at 6am here in San Diego, just thought you might like to enjoy some "cool" weather !

guardian Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 I always say "kid tarng duan" and the cabbie always understands that I want to use tollway and nods. Donno whether it's correct context or nor, but it always worked for me. I either give him the money upfront or just as we near the toll booth.

In the Rai! Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 I am with BambinA. นี่คือเงินสำหรับค่าทางด่วนครับ is perfect. To say kit tang duan is like saying "think expressway" The taxi drivers understand because you mentioned tang duan. If its too hard saying นี่คือเงินสำหรับค่าทางด่วนครับ than maybe try ขอขึ้นทางด่วนครับ kor kuun tarng duan krub. ITR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BambinA Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 short version and makes sense can be "Kar thang duan krub" ค่าทางด่วนครับ = toll fee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LindsayBKK Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 When I get in the taxi I just say "Pai Tollway dai khup" or "expressway dai khup" and give money if I know what the fee will be otherwise just give money to them just before toll booth. Don't try so hard to speak every word. You will <deleted> it up for sure. Short & sweet is best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meadish_sweetball Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 short version and makes sense can be "Kar thang duan krub" ค่าทางด่วนครับ = toll fee That's what I would recommend too. As short as possible, and not forgetting the polite particle at the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
