I've still not come across this but eventually I will.

Return trip to the airport came in at THB 375, including tolls.
The meter charges 1.5THB per minute under 6KPH so these two jams would not account for the total of the higher charge. The ride to the hotel used the meter but it was not running 'properly'.
