Had several bad experiences during my times in bkk. As per normal, my gf dislike to drive around bangkok city, she only drives when we going to other province or around my area which is at Nonthaburi.
So far never come across driver demand money from me directly, but they always purposely drive longer route, on pretext lost his direction. Twice the driver go round and round, from Bang Yai to my house at Bang Kuay is less than 150 BHT, but he turned and turned till 500 BHT. By the time I notice it's too late, asked him to stop and paid and left.
The 2nd one, took a super longer route to airport. Told me traffic jam and go by the Rama 2 high way instead by usual one. Never try before, so I thought the different only involves several bahts, but I'm wrong. Normal route cost me 500 BHT from my house to airport including toll, but via Rama 2 high way cost me extra 200 BHT.
The last one I saw from airport one taxi drop in middle of the highway and threw the bags of the passenger in middle of the road. When I saw the driver action quite aggressive, I help the passenger to call the police and report the incident.
Taxi drivers in Bkk I notice once they knew you not local, they try to milk you as much as possible.
