Tuk-tukTuk-tuks, those three-wheeled open-air vehicles (samlor) you seecruising the streets, are a Bangkok transportation innovation that can taketwo passengers (three or four at a squeeze). Tuk-tuks offer an interesting wayof seeing the city, but are best for shorter trips during off-peak hours. Youhave to agree the fare before proceeding. It should cost less than the priceof a comparable journey by metered taxi. In the rainy season, riding in a tuktukcan be dangerous as well as wet. You have been warned.31
3-4-6.TaxiMetered taxis are all over the place in Bangkok. Make sure the driver turns on the meterwhen you set off, especially if you are starting from the airport. Try to have plenty of small billsand loose change handy as taxi drivers seldom have any themselves. If you go on theExpressway, the passenger must pay the toll fees. Generally, a 50 Baht surcharge is added tofares from the airport.The minimum fare is 35 Baht for the first two km. After that, the fare goes up at a rate of4.50 Baht per km between the third and 12 th km, 5 Baht per km between the 12 th and 20 th kmand 5.50 Baht per km for the remaining distance. If you get stuck in a traffic jam, the fare risesat a rate of 1.25 Baht per minute. For destinations out of Bangkok, the fare has to be agreedupon beforehand. There are no limits to the number of passengers or surcharges for luggage.A few non-metered taxis still exist from the old days. The fare depends on the distance,traffic, weather (if it’s raining the fare will rise) and the negotiating skills of the hirer. Averagefares in Bangkok are between 50 to 200 Baht. There have been cases of robbery and evenmurder with non-metered taxi drivers. Be on the safe side; only go with metered taxis.3-4-7.
