yup, chinatown to paragon, only 15 min if no jam ... my cab jammed for an hour !!! OMG !!! in the end only 75b, but ... time wasted is really waste time !
So far stayed sukhuvmit area, sometimes will jam
Huai Khwang area not much jam ... stayed grand mercure fortune tower area last time not bad. opposite is central plaza, beside is tesco ... but hotel room is old until ... 25inch fat tv ...

yeah sometimes sukhumvit area will jam but the hotel i stayed can go by side road.. so quite ok....

agreed loh, if stuck in the taxi, really waste of time.. so when i move around in bkk, i seldom take taxi unless its far.... normally by train or walk

but i feel hard to find cab going by meter lei

normally the 6th cab that you call will go by meter by right lol..
if really bad, maybe u have to wait mroe than ten cabs ....
pratunam area normally most cabs wont want to go there . coz is super congested no matter is what time, from 11am to 6pm lol ...

for the record, I took cab from pratunam to airport at 5pm (massive jam) for 191baht+60 toll.

I think the trip is to ask the bell boy to help call. At first he ask me whether a 400baht cab is okay but I rejected him. He keep going to each taxi to ask for us. Tipped him 100baht for his effort and I saw that he was quite happy

 

[goh6570]

400 baht to airport reasonable leh, i normally pay this price and plus tolls really...

 

[goh6570]

yeah true tats y i nvr like to stay around there... going in and out, will hv difficulty...

if i go there shopping, i usually go by BTS and walk to platinum mall and pratunam
