Are there Taxis in Korat?

[mosan]

Just checking to see what the situation is like in Korat (Nakon Ratchasima).  I think taking the train will be better that driving, but I'd like to know if taxis are readily available to get around. Mind you I'm not talking about Tuk-tuks  or Songtaews, but regular Blue/Yellow or Blue/Green Toyota Corolla taxis.

Yes there are. Many outside of the Mall.

Korat certainly does have such a Taxi service.   The call center number is 044 37 0999.   Until fairly recently,  you paid an extra 20 baht to call a taxi to your home,  then paid the price shown on the meter.  Now however,  after calling the center,  a taxi will call you back and quote you an inclusive price.  No-one seems to use the meter anymore.  Prices have gone up considerably since this happened,  but the service has been a great deal better too.  It is rare,  other than perhaps the Bus Stations,  The Mall etc. to see a taxi to wave down.   Motor cycle taxis are everywhere should this be an option worth considering.

Many taxis. At the Mall, bus station and probably at the train station. Make sure they use the meter unless you work out a price BEFORE starting.

Hello All, there is the red taxis at The Mall and

the blue ones at the Main Bus Station.

The ones at The Mall cost the same as a Tuk Tuk

to go to my house, both tend to have signs giving

the costs behind the drivers seat.
