Bangkok taxi fares have increased since Wednesday on an average of 12% per trip, while the first kilometer charge remains the same at 35 Baht. After the 1st km the meter will increase by 50 satang for every kilometer actually traveled. Taxis must display a sticker certifying that they are allowed to operate on the new fare structure.
The new taxi fares came into effect following today's announcement in the Royal Gazette. The previous fare which has been in effect since November 1996 has been adjusted due to soaring fuel prices in Thailand.

This is a good news for taxi drivers especially those running on NGV, but bad news for me since I take taxis too.
