Hmm looks like they may have lowered the airport rate. Just did a quote from BKK to SGS and it came to 625

AKA 3x the metered rate.
The original flat rate of 1k was silly when I can get same level of service with AoT for 1100 and no need to wait.... The experimental price drop that is in effect right now is starting to make it quite attractive. |

Also in my experience my taxi fare from BKK is usually 400-500 (after tolls and tip) for whatever reason. I would never argue over 200 baht with a taxi driver. The only time it's in the 300 range is on the way back to the airport but I've never seen it below 300. But even then my last trip to the airport via taxi almost involved me missing my flight due to driver trying to take me to DMK instead of BKK so those are just some of the reasons I'd gladly pay 1000-1500 for uber. |

From BKK to where?

400-500 to WGS, FS, etc., may well be double what you should be paying. If you've taken the taxi to your hotel and there are hotel staff helping you out of the taxi, no need to "get into it" with the driver. I have faced this problem a number of times.

The way I see it it's the same as why am I paying 4500THB per night in a hotel when I can get one for 1500? :)

Looks like the flat rates to BKK are now 1,000 Bt, and 3k Bt to Chon Buri/Pattaya

Anybody tried using Uber from BKK airport to the city? I wonder how they're supposed to find you since you can't put any comments on where you will be.

you should definitely have a Thai mobile SIM or they won't call you back. you can see where they are parked on your app... lastly, if you do get in touch with them they will not speak English (as a general rule), so you might ask someone to assist you with that. Although, by that time, why not just get in a taxi or AOT car. |
