Thailand Tips: Taxis - do's and don'ts, what to expect, the scams and a few warnings
This is my new series of vlogs. I am NOT an expert and I do NOT know everything, so what I say in these vlogs is based on my personal experience or research. I have been a visitor to Thailand for 2 years this month (October), I first went on a "last ditch, what the hell" trip following my failed back surgery. I could hardly walk and took my walking aid with me. I went to Udon Thani to go to an Agency for finding Thai ladies, who suggested that my disablement was not a factor in finding a nice lady for long term relationship. The agency allegedly vet the members and a lot of their clients come from America. The owner is an ex-Brit and his wife a Thai, had started the agency because of their experiences with relationships etc.
So, I have a Thai wife and have been going back and forth for two years. During 2015 my wife got a visitor visa and came to the UK for 6 months. Unfortunately the UK Immigration denied a second visa this year based on made up reasons.
THIS EPISODE: TAXIS, the dos and donts, what to expect, the scams and a few warnings.
Thailand vehicle taxis, not tuk-tuks or any other form (such as motorbike), come in all colours. They are signified by TAXI-METER on the roof and a fluorescent sign in the window signifying availability.
Make sure the meter is switched on, when you've not negotiated a fixed price journey, as you would find in the airport for example. These sorts of journey attract a small fee so beware.
