You say that, but if you live on a small soi, or maybe a tricky place to call a taxi, maybe a gated apartment building where you'd have to walk out to the main soi to have any chance of finding a taxi, in the rain/heat/etc., well then GrabTaxi is cheaper than an Uber, you can book it from your apartment/hotel room, and they have the same type of messaging alerts, contacts, etc, it can be extremely convenient. For a whole 25 thb extra. I highly recommend it as an app in the "toolbox" because sometimes availability is tricky.
