You can tag me 100x more and say no. I will always say officially you needed to be insured. Maybe you don't know but many things are written somewhere but nobody enforces it
Marc ********
@Paul ******
No you give up. It was an official requirement before. You needed to be insured as tourist. As I said nobody checked. But it was mentioned in the entry requirements. Period

I couldn't disagree more. BKK to DMK is even with Google maps estimated 1 hour drive.

No bloody way you can drive in a metered taxi for 1 hour for less than 150b

Stopp tell me BS
Marc ********
@Kool ******
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

@Kool ******
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
Marc ********
@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.

@Kool ******
I did use the meter. Unless the meter was manipulated but it was almost 500b
