Answer

Always use licensed taxis; look for the orange and yellow signs or use ride-hailing apps for added safety and convenience. - Before getting in, agree on the fare if you're using a taxi without a meter. This helps avoid any surprises at the end of your ride. - Keep some cash handy, as not all taxis accept credit cards, and it’s often easier for small fares. - It's also wise to have your destination written down in Thai, especially if you’re in a less touristy area, as not all drivers speak English. Freshness note: Prices, opening hours, schedules, addresses and provider details can change. Confirm the current information directly before travelling or paying.
