Bangkok taxis all have meters and a good way to travel around. They bear the legend 'Taxi Meter' on the roof. The price starts at Bt35 for the first two kilometres and approximately Bt5 per kilometre thereafter. There is no need to tip although is appreciated. To call a taxi phone 02 319 9911 and will cost 20 baht extra. Make sure the meter is switched on as you move off. If the driver refuses leave that taxi. For long distance destinations such as the airport the price can be negotiated but is normally cheaper to use the meter.
