a good thai girl will ask you to flag those moving taxis and not go for the stationary taxis, they will try to nego with the taxis for meter and walk away with you from those taxis if the price they quoted are too expensive and bring you to take BTS instead...next time do this way ;):cool::D

always nego price before ANY action, dun take for granted cus sometimes they also will take for granted tat all Sillyporean are carrotheads ;)

Thanks to the bros who answered my Q. Guess I will never know the reason. :(

I agree that it's a lesson learnt. I am trying to understand more about the workings in BKK.

To answer the Q's posted by bro's.

1. This is my second trip to visit my girl.
2. The cab driver was extremely talkative throughout the journey.
3. Cab driver even ask when I was leaving BKK.
4. The cab was the first in the queue when we were leaving after finishing our shopping.
5. When I questioned my girl (her english not good and I don't speak thai), she said the driver very talkative, she don't like.
6. I don't think my girl needs to scam me as she knows I will give her what she ask for that is within my means. (And yes, I can change my nick to CarrotHead or Robert Zai".

I've my fair share dealing with shady BKK taxis over the years. From drunk drivers to rude to blur f*ck types. Almost all types. I'll avoid taking a taxi if I can. I'd rather sweat it out on a public bus or take a train than to deal with these idiots even if you can speak Thai. I'd say a good majority of them.

And price of comfort, convenience beats bt3 sauna. Can always jump to nearest BTS or MRT. Also with a more than 1 or 2 pax, it may be cost worthwhile for short distances

To be fair, let's not taint majority cabbies with same brush.

Comparing the taxi in this region, I guess KL taxi is the worst. Most dun use their meter even off peak hr.
