I used to use TTC Taxi Radio Cooperative, Tel. 02 460-2222, and they were OK. I had an account set up with a PIN linked to my address so never a problem for the driver to find my somewhat hidden sub-sub-sub Soi. However I stopped using that service a few years ago opting to utilize one reliable driver on a fixed-rate basis exclusively. I pay a bit of a premium but he shows up 15 min. early and can back into my covered driveway which helps during the rainy season. I have a ~ 750 m walk out to the main Soi and even then there are not many taxis driving by as it is a dead end.
