[QUOTE="boomy, post: 2386907, member: 46208"] Not sure taxis are losing money. When we stayed in Sukhuvmit earlier this week we were advised to pre-book Grab to airport because it’s very hard to catch taxi in the morning and indeed we noticed the concierge trying (in vain) to catch taxi for a stressed couple the next morning. I don’t get why people even bother with taxis these days. It’s normally cheaper and more convenient to use ride share. Later we learned that it’s actually cheaper and more convenient to use private chauffeur companies in some parts of Thailand. They don’t look to profit more hence can easily beat taxi and ride share fares as they are paid in cash and don’t need to share the profit. [/QUOTE]
