=== Exception: the taxi mafia in the tourist areas such as [[Phuket]] ===In some tourist areas like [[Phuket]] the taxi maffia mafia is in charge. You ''have'' to specify at least 3 three times that you are not going to pay. "No money", "no taxi", "free ride", ; rinse and repeat. [[User:Guaka|guaka]] ([[User talk:Guaka|talk]]) had a nasty experience with a guy who suddenly wanted 500 baht for a short ride. He then actually called the police. The corrupt police was actually ready to go to the police station so [[User:Guaka|guaka]] ([[User talk:Guaka|talk]]) settled with paying 400 baht (100 baht was not enough). (This was after 4 very nice rides across the island, including a free veggy veggie dinner in a restaurant.)
