dinsdale Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 10 hours ago, webfact said: there are no regulations about what they can charge and no set fares Welcome to Thailand where thieving from you is ok. Manipulated baht means it costs more to come here and you are fair game to be ripped off. Thieving from tourists is good. Some Thais think that's what should happen. Bt150 or less in a taxi. Three of them. That's Bt50 each not 500. Tourism 12% of GDP? I don't think so. The Chinese are staying at Chinese owned condos going to Chinese owned shops, on Chinese tours and even that's gone down. This countries going to shit with a megalomanic general at the helm, elected after a farce of an election (rant, rant, rant) don't come here. Beaches are polluted, air's polluted, it's expensive (rant, rant, rant) don't do it. This countries on the verge of collapse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gk10002000 Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 three people, more weight than one person, more petrol used so they should be charged more than for just one person. x3 seems a bit out of bounds though. Cab sharing doesn't usually double or triple a price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many of the persons that register on this forum have been here for many years already, and we do not think Thailand is like our home country. Are you sure the poster isn't referring to "When you're a newbie here" as being a newbie in Thailand? That's how I read it. Or did you jump the gun and think he/she was referring to a "newbie" on ThaiVisa? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neeray Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 I've enjoyed many dozens of rides in Tuk Tuks, Red, Blue and taxis and never had a bad experience or been ripped off (but one harrowing, white knuckled trip in a mini van). But then I was in the company of a very travel-experienced Thai gal who knew the ropes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
