Conversely, GrabTaxi is just a way of paying 25 thb extra to book a regular taxi. (Not intended as a knock on you - if you're happy with it, you should definitely stay with it.)
I’ve got an app. It’s called Grab. I selected the cheapest option.

I needed to go to the airport on a Friday afternoon. Taxis in my area will not go. I live inside a soi.
