Take hotel namecard also useless...some bkk taxi drivers don't read Thai and or are see fatt holes !.
Once, a cab driver don't know how to get to my hotel from Suvarnbhumi. Take Rama 9, get off at Phloenchit exist, down ramp, turn left later, turn right into Bumrungrad Hospital, pass throught, turn right to soi 3, pass Grace Horel, blah, blah, blah........and .....there is the Hotel. Have to show the way ( including short cut ) to the cabby !!!. He was NEW . Sh*t !.
Another cabby tried to be funny, took me along Petchabhuri / RCA, then Rachada areas and pointed out the various soapy MPs out to me when i wanted a direct route from airport to hotel that's in Nana area.
" i take you there, here ? ". " Massage, sanuk, happy time, pu ying suai, etc in this MP, good good chee byes. etc ". I told him to take me to hotel pronto because my pu ying is lying naked on the bed waiting for my service !!!.
Tuk Tuk drivers are worse..... ( pretending not to know the way and take u for a costly ride ). Once i got mad and started kicking the back of his seat repeatedly while he was driving, screaming profanities ( some in Thai ) at him. He took me to where i wanted and i threw the money at his feet.
BE ALERT is good but its better to be STREET SMART.
