Price have held up, as PT taxi doing for 1k from suvanabhum (had a big Innova last week) with same for return. Patts to downtown at 1.1k. If there are 2 or more pax, worthwhile

Need some clarification from seasoned bros..... is it compulsory to tip the taxi driver?

I booked a taxi from Walking Street (book by hotel reception for me as I dun speak thai) to Don Muang airport for 1400 baht. On arrival at DM, the driver asked for tip after I paid him 1400 exact fare saying it is a must give. He refused to open the boot for me to get my luggage until I gave him 200 more baht.
Is there such a ruling or custom?
