vinod Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 Hi Arriving this weekend and plan to head straight to PTY., My flight arrives around 7 PM. What are the current taxi fares from airport. Last month from Bkk to PTY I paid 1200 all included. Any reliable & resonable fare from Airport ? Will be in PTY from 20th to 28th Sep., thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pom Michael Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 Vinod - Last month? So, rates have decreased what - 20%? 1,200 all in sounds like a good rate - plus the road is now completely finished and at most times from the airport to Pattaya Nua is just one hour.

elef Posted September 18, 2008 Report Share Posted September 18, 2008 1200 is a good price, taxis normally now ask for 1500 from Sukhumvit and airport. Calculating that the taxi mafia can arrange a return passenger giving 500 baht - 300/350 to taxi mafia so you pay 800 or 850. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samak Posted September 19, 2008 Report Share Posted September 19, 2008 except if you go by meter! below 1000! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youngfarang Posted September 20, 2008 Report Share Posted September 20, 2008 nearly impossible to get one to go by meter. If they go by meter they have to split with the owner of the car. No meter boss never finds out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samak Posted September 20, 2008 Report Share Posted September 20, 2008 they have to split? are you sure about that? i heard they have to pay a fix rental fee per day. and there are also taxis that belong to the drivers. i know 2 thai guys who own their taxis!

elef Posted September 20, 2008 Report Share Posted September 20, 2008 I agree with that those Bangkok taxi guys I know either own their cars or pay 500 baht/day in rent or down-payment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
