Exactly the price the taxidrivers are asking nowadays. But when you force them to put the meter it's just under 200 Baht.

I got in a taxi next to the Westin and the clod tried to tell me Poseidon was closed at eight o'clock at night. I tossed him a few choice curse words and got out.

Smitster can even start a whole blog entry about how to navigate getting a taxi from the airport into town and each person can add in about their near getting ripped experiences. Then I can tell about mine where I got driven back to the airport by one taxi driver and switched cabs after I refused to pay the extra service charge he wanted to hit me for. Sheesh!

I have been here many years and they still try it on with me quite often too. It's the nature of the beast. Taxi drivers are some of the lowest of the food chain. Survivalists from the lowest echelons. Many x-cons drive taxis too since they are not employable elsewhere. How could you expect any more from them and you get them like this in every city of the world, but people act like they just can't believe how awry the taxi drivers are. I just hate them and get pleasure out of hating them. Simple and easy. Nuff said. Isn’t the taxi talk getting boring yet? I have been here many years and they still try it on with me quite often too.

I think locals and experienced people walk with an air and the confidence that they won't stand for it but I think tourists are first timers are getting scammed all the time on this. even in the official line . If they were not why would these guys try it so much? nutter – I think u hit the nail on the head. the taxi wonks will try it all the time.
