Fair tuk-tuk prices vary by distance and area: short rides 40-100 baht, medium 150-200 baht, longer distances 200+ baht. Rush hour and tourist areas add premium, but if you know the specific route, under 2km trips should stay closer to 100-150 baht range

Always negotiate before getting in. 'meter' means they want triple fare. Walk away if they start at 300+ for khao san to chatuchak - that's tourist pricing

Best bet - ask locals or hotel staff current fair price for your specific route
