I am fortunate enough to hitch a few taxi cabs back in 2018 and 2019 in Bangkok. Back then, I got no problem using the cab, and it was proven to be more affordable than calling for Grab car, as long one assert the use of meter.
However, if I'm getting IN to the city from outside, I will only use Grab 🤣 Cabs are more aggressive when they're out of town. I tried once, the driver ask me to pay 200 baht or I can call Grab 🤣 then I know they're serious
No tuktuk for me 🤣 the last tuktuk ride was in 2015 in hatyai.
