I have been to phuket and the taxi driver is very nice to me and help me carry my luggage and half way through , i ask him how much , he dun wanna tell me , i ask him the 2nd time, he told me 600. I tell him to stop and i snatch my luggage from his hand and walk back. The driver damn LL.
i walk around the street and finally got a tuk tuk like taxi and pay a 500 baht and i got no choice, that is 6am. Even in chiangmai, there are many taxi drivers at the train station as well asking you where you wanna go.
THat is the norm and it is this part where you should use your streetwise smartness, and of course those over protected, egoistic sinkies will lose their way there.
Never do his homework, just book a minivan for a few days. The driver double as a tour guide some more, and good food everywhere we go.
She should have arranged for a pickup from the airport....don;t know how much it is now... I think it is around BHT600 from airport to hotel(s) at Patong Beach & a pickup from hotel(s) to airport, when she is leaving...
Decent picket is BHT1000. Even then, Camry only.
have not been there for while...much is it now from airport to hotel, say to Patong Beach..??

Definitely cheaper than succumbing to floozies in sois bangla/eric:p
Even this, you have to negotiate with the driver.....go to some of the places the driver has 'petrol money', not all the places he suggest...
Do some homework....
Oh, so you on straight and narrow:pwhat's floozies? i did not stay at BangLa road, too noisy at night, i stayed somewhere near there thou' D
There are touts and conmen everywhere. If you are conned because you didn't do your homework, Then take it as a lesson loh and since its only small $$$, why make a big deal out of it. For example if you have not been conned in China, you have never been to China.
The last time I visited Patong Beach was a couple of years back, before the damn Tsunami flattened it. I rememeber there is a nice Thai restaurant by the beach. I think the owner is a French guy. is it still there?
I remember a funny incident when I was walking by the beach in the evening. A tanned and muscular "beach boy" approached me and started chatting with me. Invided me to go to his "club" and then I realise he is a gay. Thank him and started walking back to my hote when he shouted behind me. Can't rememeber the actual words but it is something like: "You are a gay (or there is a gay inside you and you don't know it). You just have to open up and admit it".
Since then I've been searching for that gay inside me but have not find it yet. Phuket is so full of ugly Thai women and gays........
