Refuse all taxis that wont put the meter on. If you are insistant then they will turn it on.

It helps if you know a little thai. When they try that [censored] with me I put them in their place and tell them I know whats up and the meter either goes right on or I get in the next one.

i've gotten out of many cabs cuz they wont turn on the meter

I don't know if this has been mentioned, but at the airport and at the bus station (if you take government buses) there is a line up specifically for taxi-meters that always turn on the meter.

dont leave your hotel and get into the taxi/tuktuk sitting outside. just walk away a bit and flag when down.

Great picture. What are your other favorite spots in bangkok

Ever go to the horseraces? There are 2 tracks, Royal Bangkok Sports Club and Royal Turf Club. Cabbies always know which one the races are that week. Pretty sure it alternates every Saturday. Might be at one of them on Saturday and the other on Sunday. The races are pretty certainly fixed but I always enjoyed going in Bangkok and Chiang Mai. In Chaing Mai, the best place to have kanoom jeeb was the track. Mmmmmm.

i see normal looking guys walking around with those things constantly. i mean it isn't a guy now, that used to be a dude.

anybody who has gone out a significant amount in thailand has been attracted to one of those, started talking to it, only to realize he is talking to a former dude. it happens.

Bad beat.

I think I'd still rather hit this former boy rather than some of the crater-faced broads you guys have been posting.

Hot chicks have been few and far between. I'll get you guys started
