What are the experiences with motorcycle taxi services at Mo Chit bus station?

/?ref=share&mibextid=S66gvF

Not any more 😂

TIT

For others. Public bus station here. 2 minutes walk.

You have meet with Orange Jacket Mafia.

You welcome Thailand.

Use Grab, Bolt and inDrive and avoid motorcycle taxis at all!

My mates driver last week not good my mate wasn’t as injured but still nasty road rash and cuts be careful can happen to anyone..I have a car and a bike here very rarely use the bike even tho I’ve had bikes in uk 40 years ………

the problem is some bike taxi when they see foreigners, they just wanna make some extra cash. tbh just order grab bike and get it over with. normal bike taxi sometimes is just too much

They just want you to pay your white taxes mate. 😂 Just move to the next one.

Probably just drunk, depends what time you get rides 😂

So happy to see the 'take back the streets' attitude here on this thread. Not putting up with all the BS here. Great! Personally I love to see this....

I use GRAB almost 100% of the time. If I need to go somewhere I check the app first and it almost always beats the prices the taxi bike drivers give me. It's also much safer because you have the drivers info, and your location is logged, and you don't have to use your phone to give them directions. They know the price they accepted so normally no issues. Just double check the license plate.

You can even walk to the nearest MRT station. Should be not more than 60 Baht for motorcycle taxi.

A little over 10 years ago this problem was solved with the use of an app

I had a taxi {car} back up and hit me there when he tried to charge a crazy price and I said no thanks.

That’s 4.26 $ American. A crazy joy ride for sure, don’t do it, dangerous.

Make a video next time I do

I wouldn’t ride one in the first place. Plenty of other options. Most don’t offer a helmet either.

They are not called Tuk Tuk Mafia for nothing....

All of em. Tuk tuks, MC taxis and car taxis. I told a couple to take the bts once and the driver said I had to pay the fair. It almost got ugly

I always ALWAYS get off the bus before we get to any station and grab a bike/cab from there. Need to arrange this with the driver to make sure he understands. Won’t work with checked bag only carry on so plan ahead. Re Mo Chit there are plenty of places south of there around the park to get a bike/cab.

It's a tourist town, TIT !

Had a similar instance with a tut tut driver bolt was 130bht he wanted 300bht lol he was going bonkers told him to keep his wig on 😂😂😂😂🤪🥊

There's no farang price.

There's no Thai price.

There's only honest and dishonest price.

If their mentality is to charge high because you are a westerner you can always offer them lower than the honest price because they're Thai.

Same thinking process...

Im Australian and if i ask for a ride anywhere it’s always double or triple what my Tai wife pays

When she is with me it’s the same because they think i’m wealthy .

So she hails the taxi then when she gets her Thai price i walk over and get in

Weird. I am cheap charlie but never had any problems with them. If they want to overcharge me I think about if I want to continue search for another guy or just pay 50b more.

Nobody ever got angry at me if I decided not to accept the price

Should have countered with 50. It's worth 100.

Weirdly the other day I git a taxi from Bali Hai to my place in Pratumnak and the guy wanted 80, I know its 50 and said so in Thai, then I said ok and when I got there he charged me 60!

They usually have a big sign up saying 60thb, I use it regularly (from the minivan stop)

Thailand? No. 1?

I've had them at mo chit expect my 55kg wife and I to hop onto the back of bikes with 2 full size suitcase and carry on luggage. They're insane...

Walk around the corner to the local bus station...

Get the number 28 bus !....(if I remember right .)to the nearest BTS .....15 baht....

Its easy ......if not sure just talk to people...Thai people will help and most speak English.......if not use a English to Thai app to translate.(..and try to learn Thai at the same time .very useful....! )

P.s.Keep smiling 😁😁

Just be careful out there and choose your battles wisely. I heard about a taxi driver taking an American where he wanted to go but then the driver asked for more money and they fought. The driver ended up killing the guy with a machete or sword. And he only wanted like one extra US dollar. It's not worth the fight sometimes.

Mo Chit is a Bad Dream for Taxis.

These Thai guys have a husler mentality instead of a hussle mentality. This is why they will always remain where they are in life. I spoke Thai to the motorcycle driver and told him to drive me to the MRT for 50 baht and told him it is only 5 min. He wanted 100, then 80, but i was firm with 50 because that is their price. I walked away eventually and gave the taxi driver 100 baht to take me home lol. It is not about the money but getting ripped off. Even with the taxi friver he wanted 200 at first but he finally gave in to my original offer of 100 because he knew he wouldn lose out on an opportunity of income. These bike drivers just want to hang out with their friends, thehy don't want to work.

Bolt is absolutly the best and i I allways tip them ..

Absolutely the worse taxi guys, after Phuket of coarse. I was there with my wife and her cousin after a trip back from Roi Et. They would not stop harassing us to take a taxi. All they did was assume we wanted to go to Pattaya. They can be aggressive until you say something back to them. It’s funny listening to them speak as they assume I don’t speak or understand Thai. Needless to say, once I spoke up they backed off.

Many motorcycles piss me off in Bangkok; not for prices but for their driving. I've had many get way too close to me when I am walking as far away from the street as possible. I almost slapped the helmet of one driver from reflex because he sped an inch past my leg. And they will drive right into you in parking lots too. They seem to not care if they hit you or not. They leave it up to you to move or get hit.

It's been like this for many many years. You walk out to the street to flag down honest drivers, both cabs and motorcycle taxi drivers.

Every time I've ever tried to get a 🦺 🛵 taxi they try and give me the farang price lol so I've stopped even asking them and just use Bolt or Grab.

Use Bolt motorbike taxi but make sure your pick up point is away from the orange vest drivers.

1st time in Bangkok during a rainstorm I see 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I have never encountered such nasty attitudes from the Thai people, on the contrary they are always smiling and helpful...Perhaps the man was having a bad day 🤔

Way been the same since I can remember.

Unfortunately this kind of attitude is becoming more common. I witnessed the same recently in BKK. That’s something I never saw before in 10 years

It is 60 baht from Mochit bus station to nearest bts
