Grab Taxi...Chiang Mai is Cheap fares

[a447]

I relied heavily on Grab in CM last year.

They were a godsend, as I was staying opposite Adams Apple on the outskirts of town. As mentioned above, transport to and from that area is difficult, especially at night. Downtown you are at the mercy of the tuk-tuk drivers when it's time to go back.

The trip cost less than 100 baht, as opposed to the 200~250 baht demanded by the tuk-tuk mafia. The car was new and clean and the drivers were all very polite and helpful.

The trip sometimes took longer than a tuk-tuk, but that's because the drivers used the back roads to avoid the traffic.

I also heard stories about how Grab drivers are often attacked and so had them drop me off in a small soi away from my destination.
