Well mate, since this is a community forum why don't you share with the rest of us exactly where we can get a safe and comfortable taxi to the Big Mango for 1500 baht? You'll save us 500 baht each time.
Sciamachy,
I do believe the people of this good forum are asking you to 'put up or shut up' about being able to get a taxi between Bangkok and Hua Hin for 1300 baht; so in other words, either give us all the name and number of the guy who does this wonder deal or no one on here will believe you!
15 Bhat a bottle. Now that's pricey. i know a place where.........Hang on is this the right thread????

It’s none of my business what people say and think of me. I am what I am and do what I do. I expect nothing and accept everything. It makes life so much easier.
Maan, you guys are some sad bastards, to care about 200-500 bath... Damn... The hell with it, how often do you take the trip? Each day - If so, I see your point, - Otherwise, give the chap 2000 bath and say thank-you. Damn...

For those not familiar, The Dusit Thani BKK is right at the interection of Rama IV and Silom across from Lumpini park. Sky train right there and perhaps the subway as well, not sure about that, also taxis, the odd Tuk Tuk and MC taxi's. You can get anywhere from there pretty quickly. Pete

I not sure if this is the same thing, but Hua Hin Tours and Travel used to run a minibus to Bangkok for 600 baht. It was door to door from major hotels at either end, as long as you booked in advance. The only disadvantage was that if you were the last drop off in Bangkok, you could have a lengthy tour of Bangkok traffic jams.
I think that Taxi rates have gone up a lot in the last few months as there have been some fairly large increases in Petrol and Diesel prices. I was using a Toyota Wish on my last visit. A full tank got me to Hua Hin and back from Bangkok(area near old(sadly) Airport). A tank of gas was Baht 1100, so that does not leave much of a wage for the driver if you are expecting a ride for B1300.

That's a good point and it doesn't even take into account baht per kilometer he should be calculating for wear & tear and maintenance costs on the vehicle. I'm years out of date but I think the last time I looked at the USA tax charts for business use of a vehicle, the per mile deduction was around $.60. That's when fuel was low, not it's probably about $1.00. Pete
