TAXI TIPS 1. Overall taxis in Bangkok don't accept credit cards. Be sure to
carry small cash in Baht on you. 2. It is best to travel with smaller bills such
as ฿20 or ฿50 notes, as most taxi drivers don’t carry much change. 3. If you are
coming or going to the airport, you can change your larger bills to smaller ones
at the toll booths on the expressway. 4. Make sure your driver resets their
taximeter to the base fare and that the taximeter is turned on before you begin
your journey. 5. A driver refusing to use their taximeter is suspicious; if they
insist on giving you a fixed price, it's best to find another taxi. 6. Once a
driver has agreed to take a certain route, they will usually not try to take a
longer one for extra money; they make more money from passenger turnovers. 7. As
Bangkok taxi fares are cheap and the drivers work 24/7 in a great amount of
traffic, a small tip is always appreciated.
