I liked Navigo app best - nice cars and reasonable prices, but it can be a challenge getting a car at times. They will reduce prices to sell rooms, so it really depends on demand. Is 18k with or w/out taxes and fees? That's fairly pricey, especially if not including taxes/fees - I used to say my max for this property was around 15k but it seems everything is more expensive in Thailand these days.
Seems like getting around may just be a bit of a pain in general. I'm only there a few days, if taxis are readily available and can be hailed easily at tourist sites, I may just suck it up and pay.

The 18k I'm referring to is including taxes/fees. A bit over 15k w/o, so seems like prices are right at the high end at the moment.
