Experience at Taxi stand
Having been to Bangkok several times, I have recently realised on my last trip (5-8 Apr 07) that there are two different public taxi queues. They are managed by different companies (as evidenced by the different forms at the counters). The one on the left go by the meter and you should expect to pay between 300-400 baht for your taxi fare.
The one on the right however is rather dishonest. The taxi drivers tell you that they go by the meter, but when you get into the taxi, they will say that the meter is spoiled and ask for at least 500 baht. Does anyone else have this experience?
