I'm wondering if there is any noticeable change in the behavior of Taxi Workers? I remember Babylon having a post about the cost to take a motorbike from Babylon to Saladang and it was around 30 baht but the guys waiting for customers outside charged far and above that rate and would sometimes settle for 50baht.

I also read that Phuket now has true taxi service with metered taxi's and Bangkok style taxi service at the airport. One of the main reasons I stopped going to Phuket was because of the extremely high taxi rates.

How about Pattaya? At night are the rates still higher than before the bars close?

I wonder if things in Chiang Mai have changed any with the tuk tuks?
