To avoid being scammed when using taxis in Bangkok, follow a few simple rules. Always insist on using the meter (Taxi Meter) - this is the most reliable way.
Main recommendations:
- Before getting in, ask "Taxi Meter?" and only get in if the driver agrees
- Avoid taxi drivers who are stationed at tourist spots - they usually overcharge
- It's better to walk 100-200 meters away from popular places and hail a passing taxi
- Use taxi booking apps: Grab, Taxi-Maxim or InDrive
In the apps, you immediately see a fixed trip cost, which completely eliminates scams. Payment can be made in cash or by card (Russian cards do not work).
Average trip cost in the city center - 100-200 baht. If the driver claims the meter is broken, just find another taxi. Remember, Uber does not work in Bangkok!
