I don't believe they do overcharge there is a standard rate which they use, I have never been asked for more than 2000 to the airport

I get charged 3000thb now for the airport taxis to Hua Hin!StevePIraq wrote:I don't believe they do overcharge there is a standard rate which they use, I have never been asked for more than 2000 to the airport
If I pre-order from my taxi service in Hua Hin it will cost max. 2000thb.
Must prefer to take the Hua Hin bus but sometimes the times don't always work-out.

Re: Good reasonable fare taxi service
We've been paying THB3,000 to the same guy since we started visiting HH 10 years ago.
I am sure many will consider that we have been getting royally ripped off all these years and we did think about changing, however the guy is 100% dependable, a good safe driver with reliable vehicles and more importantly, she who must be obeyed feels very comfortable with him, even when travelling alone, so that sealed the deal. Anyway, when someone is having to make that round trip to the a/port, at all hours of the day and night to pick us up or drop us off, I don't begrudge him the extra money

Re: Good reasonable fare taxi service
I agree 100%. If you're happy, and you have a safe/reliable driver and a comfortable ride, why not? I pay a little more than people say for exactly the same reasons. A thousand Baht extra is nothing compared to air fare etc.

That's why I never understand why people want to use a minibus. Pay 40,000 baht for a flight then want to use a deadly 300baht minibus

Take a drive to the Hilton and drive down the road towards the sea, there is a stall on the corner that coordinates taxi return to BKK trips, I have used them many times recent price was 1800 to the airport, never had a bad driver.

Maybe it's because they've just spent 40,000bt for a flight!StevePIraq wrote:That's why I never understand why people want to use a minibus. Pay 40,000 baht for a flight then want to use a deadly 300baht minibus
Re: Good reasonable fare taxi service
10 years ago I had a great old guy Mr Dang, 2000bht to or from the airport. The reason I stuck with him, others were a little cheaper, was his careful driving and his concern for my comfort. He would offer to stop more often than we need to because back then I was a smoker and he didn't seem to want to rush the journey.
Happy are those who dream dreams that come true.
