1 k asking a bit too much lah bro. I myself do pick up regulars upon request only but I dont pick up from DonMuang.
The reason is becos taxis want earn return trip but I only pick up one way and travel 2 way for total distance of 300 + km. My vehicle is a 3 ltr turbo so my diesel cost for a return trip is abt 500 baht. Tolls cost almost 400 baht. For me to travel that distance taking probably more than 5 hours in total to earn a paltry sum just do not make sense.
For regulars..I normally ask them to give me what they normally pay taxi. So from Suvarnabhumi if a customer give me 1k..means I earn a princely sum of 480 baht..as diesel is abt 400 baht and tolls 120 baht return. Its honestly not worth my while as its a 250 km return journey. As I say..I only do it for regulars upon request as these guys understand and give me back much more. For me its just an added service. Hope you understand.
