Taxis in Thailand

The taxis in Bangkok have meters, but if you do not pick them up from a rank or hotel, they will quote you a price (which is generally 3 times what the meter would say). If you ask for the meter to be put on you will always get some resistance, so a trick is to go into a hotel and ask them to call one over and tell them to put the meter on.

  1. Great to see you back, any chance you can get in touch with John the cabby Kennedy?
    If you dont have his email address you can send one to downtheoak@aol.com and I will pass it on.
    I have used some of your content (couple of your videos, 1 Merc review, 1 about the westminster smart car). I did try to contact you through youtube but you were probably away on your holiday. Hope you dont mind, I will take them down if you wish.
    What do you think of the blogs and how do you feel about what john is putting together?
    We would value your comment.
