How Much does a Meter Taxi Cost in Bangkok?
Content: They use the same word for us for meter but they emphasise the second syllable = “mee-DTER”. As well as the 35 Baht starting fee and the price per kilometre, you also have to pay for waiting time, which in Bangkok means stuck in traffic. So, if you are going less than 6 km/hour, the fee is 1.5 Baht per minute. If you catch the taxi at the airport then there is a 50 Baht surcharge which you have to add to the amount on the meter. Don’t forget, you also have to pay the tollway fees. If your driver was pleasant and didn’t hassle you with the meter, then please do round up the amount on the meter. These rates haven’t changed for many years and they really do need the extra money.
