only Thananchat will just go in and tell the driver where he wants to go once you do that the driver know that you are not Thai no matter how good your Thai is.That's when he start to wayang
I think you're wrong about this thing. I hailed, and asked the taxi, never ever I hailed and go inside the taxi, and tell him where the place I would like to go, still the taxi want to charge me extra by going further than a honest driver would go.

Even my gf who is A THAI talked to be driver the location, still the driver on purpose or not on purpose, drives longer route. Maybe this way they can earn a lil extra ess when there's a lil customers for last few hours when they started their shift.

one tip to share when you arr at bangkok airport.
usually people will go to arrivial hall outside to take taxi
but you can actually go to departure hall and take a taxi , they are more happy and glad to take u. but have to speak abit of thai for this trick
What's the different? Taking arrival or departure hall? I supposed there's traffic control who disallow you from taking at the departure hall.
