I switched to Mr T a couple of trips ago after all the positive feedback I'd read on this and other forums.

Prior to that I had simply been using the private cars available from the hotel, such as the Dynasty Grande.

I haven't had any problem so far with Mr T, aside from being 15-20 minutes late one time, but they did ring me on my mobile to say they were on the way.

The private cars from the hotels were generally a little more luxurious, but they were starting to cost me close enough to 2000 Baht for a trip from Bangkok to Pattaya or vice versa.

Mr T is literally half that.

Not sure why Petesie experienced such a horror run.

I'm paying 1.400 BHT for BKK - Pattaya ride. Driver is always on time and any time day or night. As I said before... last time I tired to bargain about price and he told me there is no price low enough if you miss the airplane because you pay only 800 BHT to some scammer who’s late, and he is right.

I never had any trouble with Mr. T until this trip. I sent him an Email probably later than I should. But he usually gets back to me fast. When I was one connection away from BKK I still didn't have a reply so had someone on the ground here call him. As I understand it his Email was down for about four days toward the end of November.

Would be interesting to know if Petesie had conformations. I felt that something was wrong because I had no conformation Email.

Wonder if a 1400B service is any better than a 1000B service? They are all good until one of them doesn't show to pick you up.

I've made 10+ Mr T taxi trips and everytime it has turned up.

Only on 2 occassions the taxi was a bit late and on both occassions I called the office and was reassured and put in contact with the driver.

Kim, thats because you hansum man.....

3 trips with Mr T and 2 have had problems.
The major drama was in November last month, when booked and confirmed by email well in advance the driver drove to Bangkok instead of Pattaya. Destination Dynasty Inn,Pattaya but driver,who just kept smiling and nodding despite my strong protestations just could not understand and was heading to Dynasty Inn,Bangkok. Almost got there too as I could not raise Mr T on the phone. In the end jumped out and got a local to explain and eventually got Mr T on the line. A quick trip lasted 3 and 3/4 hours as late Saturday night in downtown BK is not fun.
On the way back thought I had a young guy who understood destination Majestic Grande,BK. Not so Marriott he said and just would not take not so for an answer. In disgust I got out there and walked down the street to the Majestic. I actually shouted at him when we left Pattaya that if he took me off track I would not pay him as I was still steamed up about the previous episode. Embarrassed my lb waver-offer at the time who said..You cannot speak to Thai people that way! Sorry honey me bad.
Should I look at somebody else when booking ahead?

[Crackerjax]

I usually like to ease in with a night or two in the Big Mango so I've never booked ahead when it comes to the airport pick-up in Bangkok. But even without proper planning it seems to be fairly easy to negotiate a ride to Pattaya for about 1200 once you're out of Arrivals.

Going back I generally just book with whichever taxi tout is closest to my hotel - 800 plus tolls pretty standard. Never had a problem other than myself being too wasted and sleeping thru my wake-up call...

Just did a trip with one of Mr. T's drivers today. Nana Hotel to Pattaya 1000B all in.
