It happened to me 4 weeks ago, BKK to Suk 33 (well... half way to the expressway he finally understood that no answer to "400 baht" meant 'put the meter on'), but not last Thursday. I think that's pretty good going with 24 airport trips a year ^ On the downside, I enjoy a good argument and they're not giving me enough opportunities!
Just avoid the green/yellow taxis, by all accounts.

I certainly will.
