my point is just you cannot go anywhere from in Bangkok for under 150b with a meteref taxi. Even if it is no ripp off. Bangkok is pretty big you know.

Not relevant here if the cab driver scammed me from Nana to BKK or not.

But even if I take a taxi with my thai gf she dealt with the driver. And going to her place from the airport was also about 500b.

Or if you go from BKK to DMK with a metered taxi it will be more than 500b for sure. It's a long drive

Yes I know. But why would I chose to have problems with a cab driver and I need to catch a flight?

And the first drive was not much cheaper either so I didn't have any proof

@Kool ******
But I used google maps too. He used the correct way🤷‍♂️

Long way it was cheap. Then near the airport it was much more.

I had the feeling the meter was manipulated. But I am not going to start an argument or fight over 500b/15USD.

300b/9 USD you say it should have cost. Ok 6USD too much yeah not worth it.

But airport to Nana was metered taxi too and was about same price.

I did use the meter. Unless the meter was manipulated but it was almost 500b
Marc ********
@Kool ******
But we are talking about metered taxi right?

No way you can drive a distance like that for under 300b

Yes you did. You needed to be insured. Period. Officially. As tourist aswell.

Maybe for O-A visa they checked if you really have one or not
