When we arrived in Kl this week on a visa run as we left the airport a guy approached me and asked if I wanted a taxi, I asked how much to Kl he replied 90 ringett and it was just the way he said it that I decided to decline and went back in to the terminal to find out that taxi should cost 55 to 60. As we were getting out the cab the driver gave me his card and said to telephone him when we wanted to go back and he would take me back at an even lower price as I was a regular customer. The final day just before we were to go he telephoned me to say he was caught up but his uncle would give us a lift. Halfway to the airport his uncle turns to me and said had Frankie given me a price, I replied yes 55 ringett, he goes cannot be so I showed him my receipt from the original journey and told him to ring Frankie to confirm. After speaking malay to Frankie the guy then handed me the phone, where Frankie said he had agreed 55 but this was his Uncle's cab and his uncle charged more, no apology just this explanation as far as he was concerned explained everything and was perfectly okay. As it was a metered taxi I told the uncle we would use the meter to which he replied 'ah but to the meter you must add the toll fee and also my extra profit' what extra profit? 'well I am a city taxi and not an airport taxi so I have to add extra profit to journeys to the airport which is outside the city' we were halfway there, we were discussing a 10 ringett rip off (100 bht) I just decided to let it go, but something about asian non-logic as an explanation when they are conning me, I sort of like! don't ask me why.
