exactly! Always smile and be polite.

@Us ****

I agree with you 💯

I did ask a taxi near the motorcycle taxis and he wanted 100. I could pay, of course, but it’s just the principle of the matter.

@Kool ******

that’s where I was. The bus station was flooded so I walked out to the street. A group of motorcycle taxis there were just hanging out and I guess didn’t feel like making money.

@Jeremy *******

it was!

it was a group of them. They were on the younger side. Around Rama 9 all of the motorcycle taxis have been very nice and even courteous. It’s just at Mo Chit leaving the bus station that I have been getting price gouged and the bad attitude. The week before an older motorcycle taxi wanted 180 baht. I laughed, smiled and talked him down to 60. He took me to the MRT and then demanded an extra 20 as a tip. In return he gave me a hateful look. Mo Chit bus station… must be something in the water there.

@Nazım *********

yes, it should be. I ended up walking to the MRT
