Test&go November. They put me in a normal taxi, 100%not certified, 800 baht. Rang the wife on route to the hotel thinking this isn’t right, the taxi driver offered to take me to my home to have dinner with my wife and she can drive me to the hotel afterwards, which I declined. Gotta love Thailand, I would say there more stricter now
