Taxi:
Metered taxis are available in Bangkok.
Make sure the driver turns on the meter,
especially if you are starting from the
airport. Make sure you have change, as
taxi drivers often don't! Drivers change
shifts at about 3.30-4.00 p.m., and may
not accept you unless your destination
is convenient. Passengers must pay tolls
in the case of using an expressway.
If taxis do not have meters, fares
must be agreed upon before starting. The
amount will vary depending on the
distance, traffic, weather (if it is
raining the fare will rise) and the
negotiating skills of the hirer. Average
fares in Bangkok are between 50-200
baht.
