Taxis, GRAB & BOLT in Thailand

Taximeters

taxi bangkok If we find taximeter in almost all major Thai cities, especially at airports, they are not present everywhere in Thailand. And apart from Bangkok, waving at a taxi from the side of the road is probably very optimistic as you might wait very very long before one passes by. In Thai where there acctually are taxis, you will always find them near the airport, sometimes at the bus terminals or in front of the Railway station.

But outside Bangkok and its vicinities, where taximeters in circulation are very numérous, taxis are more there to be ordered when needed. Most of the time, the reception of your hotel will do it for you on request and it's better because all taxi drivers do not speak English. But there are also smartphone applications that allow you to order taxis or even cars or vans with dirver. They are practical and more and more tourist use those apps when traveling in Thailand.

Other applications like Bolt are also availalbe in Thailand. But BOLT can only be used, that in Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Phuket and Pattaya. Bolt is generally, for the same journey, a little cheaper than Grab.
