If the driver stop half way in the high way, I will agree with him till he reached the destination. I will open my door, pass whatever money I deem he deserves, get out of the taxi, and walk to the lobby. By the time, he takes out his safety belt, open the door and chase after me, I am inside the hotel lobby.
No matters how bastard the taxi driver is, he dun dare to do anything in the lobby. Anyway, most driver will take the money u given him and go. If he wants to make a big hoo haa in the lobby, let the hotel staffs take care of him.
5000thb, I can get 2, 3 gers.

For Bros' info, I was on way to airport. Drivers clever too, will not do this in hotel lobby.
When i reach airport, Thai airway staff was already looking for me with Tourist Police tagging behind; my Thai friend called someone "big", according to him. I am glad to be in one piece and I want to return to BKK (many times more in 1 piece)
Thailand image is never good. Sex, drugs, trafficking of any animals including human...the list goes on, what u want, u can get in Thailand.
Yes Bro, even assault rifles if revolver not good enough.
My Thai friend told me that there is brewing uncertainty as to the future of the Royal family internal power structure. In time could get worse if hell breaks loose. Hope that does not happen
For info, my Thai friend already applying for fast track PR liao.
He is actually indirectly related to the 3rd Richest man in Thai. Good for him. No wonder F&N was purchased by Charoen Sirivadhanabhakdi. I think this gives them chance to "move" to SG
Yes, as long as hotel is situated in BKK. Airport is Suvarnbhumi.
My BKK friend said that SAM's charges are neither costly nor cheap. Juz OK. But at least passenger does not get nasty surprises.
Make a long storey short, I kena once during wee morning hours when taxi on his meter when he reach hotel (5-star Marriot affiliate property); halfway he off meter and told me highway not many cars and ask for money; i asked him to on meter, he said can but he must go back to my hotel and on and restart again....
So I said OK but SMS my Thai friend, he gave me instructions and i followed.......eventually I made report at Tourist Police, my hotel also followed up my case........BUT that driver was using another person's taxi.....so the owner got into deep shit instead. Such is life.
Oh yes, the "bad" driver asked for THB5000
Ya I agree neither costly nor cheap. Thanks for the contact.

Rumours and rumours of war. This is nothing new. Trouble already started when Thaksin won a 2nd term in office. Power struggle with every change of rulers very normal even Sillypore not immune.
Lived through the curfew of 2010 when Bangkok was burning. Get a few good DVDs, stock up on beer & food and make sure you have a nice puying to cuddle up to
Known fact so many foreigners just use Sillypore passport as stepping stone to final country of their choice. If u r Sillyporean, ask yourself where will u be when the 6.9 million shit hits the fan?

i prefer an average girl who gives it her 100% to offer you great service over a superstar who gives starfish service and a clock-watcher.
besides, superstar pussies are likely not as fresh, since they probably get 10x more customers per day than the average-looking girls.
I will take an hot attractive gal or superstar over an average girl. Simply cos you can train and improve a starfish whereas you cannot really improve an unattractive or average looking girl.

So my Thai friend intro a taxi driver who is more reasonable than others.
From BKK Hotel to Surb Airport, THB300 excluding toll of THB70.
From BKK to Pattaya, THB1200 excluding toll (toll??).
Have tried him a few times, reliable; always arrived earlier than me.
But bros are advised to give him 4-5 hrs notice as he has corporate clients as well.
BKK hotel to Suva Airport for 300b is not cheap. Usually I pay around 250b (excluding highway)
And it isn't necessary to phone a cab to go airport I mean just tip the bellboy or walk to road and taxis are a dime a dozen. BKK taxis are way much better than KL taxis where you have much higher chance of getting overcharged (withour using meter), scammed or getting robbed. BKK taxis are saints compared those KL taxis. With KL taxis you get all kinds of rubbish, unprofessionalism, bad filthy dirty taxis and scammers here and there. While there are some bad hats BKK taxis, they are way much better than KL taxis
Worst is have to make appointment with taxi and then wait here and there but he does not turn up for some reason why you see tonnes of taxi going by but you cannot stop the taxis and you are running late for airport. If his taxi is a"sexi" that comes with hot sexy puying you can pay to papow in a backseat bed on your way to airport I will call him for sure

Yes agreed KL has the worst taxi service and 2nd is Sillypore! Called LTA's so called "complain hotline" so many times - totally USELESS!!!
Bangkok as long u dun take the taxis loitering outside your hotels or at tourist attractions you are safe. So far in my 15 years traveling to Bangkok only kana scammed once, meter was rigged, from airport to my apartment usually Bht230-250 but that day was like extra Bht100!
