Now I'm genuinely curious -- in your opinion, where on this planet do the taxis not suck? I can't think of too many places where taxis work as well, and in all of them they cost way more than here.EADG wrote:even so this taxi system still sucks

That there would be no traffic jams, so you can actually get somewhere in a reasonable amount of time? I have to agree that 90% of Bangkok's cabbies are great, but unfortunately the remaining 10% are evenly split between utterly clueless country bumpkins (I've run into drivers who didn't know where "Silom Rd" or "Grand Palace" are, even in Thai), homicidal drugged-up maniacs (getting a flat tire at 160 km/h on the airport tollway was one of the more exciting moments of my life) and lying scumbag cheats (like the guy who picked up a colleague on his way to an important meeting and proceeded to try to drive him to a whorehouse in the middle of the day; fortunately he was smart enough to get the hell out when stopped at an intersection).Bangkok - they're everywhere, cheap, run the meter, and what more could you ask?
