The point was to say that it is good news to see uber in Bangkok.

Has anyone used them yet here?
I tried twice. Once the 8min quote went steadily up as I watched the driver go the opposite direction for 15min at which point it said 20 min wait, so I cancelled it.

The second time the 10min quote was also inaccurate, after waiting 15 min with another 15min wait estimated, I cancelled and jumped in to a metered taxi.

I think this time estimate thing is going to be a problem. Traffic is wildly unpredictable and both of these were around 10pm on a weekday.
