How to avoid being ripped off when taking a taxi in Thailand?

Because you don’t speak Thai or know that you are a foreigner! There are really many people who know how to rip off customers! So we just don’t give others the chance to “bully” us! So what can we do to avoid it! 1. Use regular taxis

Try to choose regular taxis, such as red or yellow taxis, instead of private cars or motorcycles. 2. Negotiate the price

When taking a taxi in Thailand, make sure to ask the driver about the pricing method before setting off to avoid any disputes over fees. In Thailand, taxi drivers usually use a meter (also called a "meter"), but some drivers may refuse to use the meter and ask you to negotiate the price, so we need to negotiate at the same time, and if she refuses then we will look for The next car or two is enough! Don't be stupid and forget it! 3. Avoid rush hours

Some taxi drivers will deliberately increase fares during rush hours and late at night. Try to avoid riding during these times. 4. Understand the route

Understand the route and confirm it with the driver. This can prevent the driver from taking detours or risking fares. If you don't care about her! He will keep going around for you! Then I lied to you and said it was faster! I've encountered this before! So it’s best for you to know the route yourself and confirm it with the driver! If you're unfamiliar with Thailand's roads, you can use Google Maps or another navigation app to track the route. If the driver starts taking detours, you should alert him immediately and ask him to follow the shortest route to his destination. 5. Do not accept extra charges such as "bridge tolls"

Some drivers will make you pay extra for things like entering and exiting the highway or crossing the bridge. These charges should not be borne by the passenger.

We are in a foreign country, so staying vigilant and preparing in advance are important steps to avoid being ripped off.

I wish everyone a happy trip to Thailand
