Bangkok Taxis are some of the most colorful cars on the roads of the metropolis. Among the colors I have seen them includes sky blue, dark blue, pink, purple, red, orange, brown, yellow-and-green, and of course white. Regardless the color, they offer the same, usually professional level of service. Having said that, whenever I have to take a taxi in Bangkok, I have a penchant for choosing the new, shiny ones!

All of these taxis are metered, with a fixed flag drop rate, with subsequent additions for distances covered, for waiting, and for being stuck in a jam. I have been stuck in a jam in Bangkok for more times than I can remember. There was once where I was in the taxi for 20 minutes, and it barely moved 100 meters - I ended up paying the fare, getting out, walking back to where I first started, and took a BTS Skytrain.
If you wish to take a taxi, be sure that you don't travel during rush hour. Otherwise you will be stuck in a jam like I had. In such an instance, taking the mass transit trains is faster.

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.
While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
