Bali & Bangkok

That's normally good advice, and I would usually do the same, but I just came back from Bali and had a very different experience there. This guy had his own minibus and used to hang out in front of the resort I was staying in (Bali Tropic Hotel in Nusa Dua). I used to get a metered taxi from there into Kuta most evenings, and the metered fare was always around 75,000 Rupiah. One evening there didn't seem to be any taxis around so I asked him how much he would charge and he quoted 70,000 Rupiah. He got my business that evening, and I used him every day from then on. I would never have expected a private transport operator to match a metered taxi fare, so in fairness to this guy I just wanted to go on record and mention it here. Once I arrived in a Surabaya bus terminal a way out from town. When the taxi drivers saw me they instantly established a price cartel and asked 50.000 rupiah for a ride to downtown. I found the fare ridiculous. Soon a taxi driver at the rear end of the queue broke it down and was willing to drive me to town the meter on. The ride cost me 8.500 rupiah......... |

[..] Any idea about Bali? In Bali you can easily hire a cab for a day. Otherwise you can also book any tour you want from your hotel. If you achieve _not_ to find transportation in Bali you are _the_hero_! On every corner you will find somebody offering "transport, transport" Just hire a car with driver and go wherever you want ... calculate some time to negotiate a reasonable price ... Manfred |

Bali & Bangkok
Depending on interests and budget everybody has a different experience with the same places, countries. I prefer to book my trips through the tour operator. When you are planning to set your feet in a strange land you need an advise of one of the experience travel professionals just to have a worry- free vacation. I trust expertise of Orient Flexi Pax. My trip to Thailand was arranged through that company. The locals seamed to be less expensive, but just to avoid all” the dudes hanging out in front of the resorts, looking for a quick buck..” I prefer to deal with the company that is easy to follow up and cherish its reputation. You defiantly save money in a long run if you arrange everything in advance. It works for me. -- prima Message Origin: TRAVEL.com |
