| Fortunately I can walk home from work, taking about 30min. In the rain it's not a very fun walk but there's no alternative.
One Friday evening I wanted to meet some friends- it was raining a bit but not much. I waited almost 2 hours for a taxi in a few places before giving up and going back home- there were people standing on almost every corner trying to find a taxi and people were getting quite desperate, running after taxis or jumping in front of others. I lived in Bangkok before and when it rains the taxis can be difficult to find, but nowhere near as difficult as here. The taxis there are nicer (new Corollas) and cheaper, despite similar price of gasoline. Somehow they still manage to make a profit, so not sure why there often seems to be a shortage here. |
