Common Scams to Avoid
Hat Yai International Airport tuk-tuk drivers love a flat rate to Songkhla city. They swear the meter is busted. They insist airport trips need fixed pricing. Do not buy it. Demand the meter or book inside the terminal at the official airport taxi counter.
Men in suits greet arrivals calling their cars 'limousine' service. They flash laminated cards. They quote triple the regulated fare. Check their chest for an official airport badge. Compare their price to the board at the public taxi stand. Walk away if numbers do not match.
Motorbike taxis cluster near the exit promising quick lifts to nearby hotels or the minivan terminal. They see luggage and double the price. Ask your hotel for the going rate first. Open Grab or Bolt and let the app show the real fare. Pay only what locals pay.
