Yes, Uber flash seems like a "lottery" or something - but unlike other "rented" taxi's this one had WORKING seat belts , was clean without cigarette smell and a polite driver! (I paid 470ish baht from area near The Pen to bkk - I would guess about 100 more than meter with minimal traffic plus tolls - which were included in the uber fare). BTW grab car fares were at least 100 baht more.
