Well recommended from me also, Grab service do not turn down your request and also charge fair price. It is not like some taxi who charge crazy amount of fee. Also try grab food service, it is food delivery service recommended right now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admint Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 Grab is also useful as a tool to see how much the fare should cost if you need to negotiate with a taxi on short notice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiamondBac Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 After a few trips, I would say that my experience with Grab taxis in Thailand has been positive so far No risk of miscommunication on the destination nor worry about hidden charges Plus using a new sim card with every trip, I was about to register new Grab accounts. The rebates given to new accounts for Grab rides pay off a significant portion of the cost of the sim card 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I agree with you, Grab have a fair policy which will never cheat you and overcharge you. They even have the driver information and car licence in the database to track that driver if they did something illegal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrmojo Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 Grab was my personal preference because of the easy of use and relative safe/hassle-free transport. I did find the trips to and from the airport/hotel a bit on the heavy side price-wise but after a long trip I really don't wanna haggle on prices and just want to get to my hotel asap. Only thing I didn't like was the random driver that cancelled a drive just 5 minutes before arriving or just accepting and immediately cancelling. I would love to use the subway more for the daily stuff (for the more standard shopping) as I love it in my own country but I'm always a little more hesitant in foreign countries because of the language barrier. Next time around I will definitely give it a try as it seems pretty straight forward and the time-saving can be significant during rush hours (which seem to be basically always in Bangkok) On 5/2/2020 at 4:44 PM, Mike Y. said: Also try grab food service, it is food delivery service recommended right now.

Well I heard there is also Lineman app that do food delivery also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would probably say one of the private green/yellow taxis as they are private operators. Offer them enough and they’ll stay with you for the night, and maybe even provide some advice if you are looking for anything in particular.

Heizieray Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 thanks everyone for your helpful replies. I'm going with work, and that's why i'm quite sure that i would need changing points quite often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funstrap Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 grab works really well in Bangkok, fast and simple. Another advantage of grab is that you indicate directly where you want to go, you are sure to arrive at your destination. Unlike taxis, or between our accent, the taxi driver's poor understanding of English, I have already thrown in the towel after a while by dint of going around in circles without being able to get where I wanted. sometimes the best is to mix public transport and grab: a part in skytrain to avoid the big traffic jams, get out at a station where there are not many people and order your grab. Be careful not to order a grab in congested places: galley guaranteed. and also choose the side of the ideal road, it sometimes takes 20min by car, to find yourself on the other side of the road (2min on foot 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
