Don’t Get A Cab If The Meter Is Not Used

Source: https://www.thephuketnews.com

Tourists normally get overcharged by cab drivers who don’t make use of their meters. To them, all tourists are rich, and so they will try to get the most they can from you. Insist on using the meter, and if the driver refuses, get out of the taxi and look for another. Or you can approach a police officer, or any decent looking local to help you. Scams like this are common almost everywhere. As soon as the cabbie realizes you are a tourist, they see money. But if you show them you are not ignorant, they may let it go. Just be polite in your demeanor. You don’t want to get into a fistfight with a local.
