The locals ( and tourist) spoke and we got it

Thailand is Cambodia's neighbor to the West, and this forum is dedicated to Thai news, stories, reviews, blogs, videos, Thai people and anything else related to the country. A lot of expats have both lived and worked in Cambodia and Thailand, and this area is a place to discuss all aspects of life in Thailand and what's going on there. Most topics are about Bangkok and Pattaya because of their larger populations of expatriates and tourists in those cities, but this is for all things Thai.

TAXI's on Phuket Island allowed to pick you up an take you anywhere

fuck the tuk tuk
PHUKET: A hike in metered taxi fares comes as roving metered taxis officially begin foraging Phuket for passengers, after the grand opening of the new island-wide service this morning.

“We will now see more metered taxis driving throughout the island. There will eventually be about 1,400 metered taxis on Phuket,” said Phuket International Airport Director Prathuang Sornkham.

The new rates are are 50 baht for the first two kilometers, then 12 baht per kilometer for the next 15km, then 10 baht per kilometer thereafter. - -
Lets see, i live 22 kms from the airport, the Airport limo ( a Toyota Camry) charges me 750 baht
the metered taxi will be 100 surcharge+ 280 baht still only 380 baht!!!

Just wonder how long till someone gets in a cab an this happens

"please turn on the meter"
"Meter broken 500 baht please"
