Taxi driver Adnan Pombisut claimed that business was slightly better than on normal days when the Phuket airport was closed.

“Many people did not know that the airport was going to be closed, so I drove them there and dropped them back to the hotel again when they realised that their flights had been cancelled. So instead of a one-way fare, they paid for a return trip,” he said.

Assholes !!!

Many, not all, but most taxi drivers were heroes that day, they gave rides, shelter and even clothing and money to victims.

Really.. I remember far more were charging 1000 baht to take people up the hill or many many 1000's to get to the airport to leave.. That seemed the majority by far.
