What is the correct way of dealing with the taxi situation at Tan Son Nhat please?
I will be going there to meet my family at international arrivals and we will need to get back to Q1.
I had thought about walking out of the airport over to the shopping centre with the cinema - Megastar I think? - and getting a Mai Linh from there. However, they will be arriving right in the midday heat and I seem to remember that that walk could be quite long?
I will be taking a taxi to the airport myself, so I could ask the driver to wait at the end of the taxi rank or some other similarly close pre-agreed location. Are they likely to agree / is this a viable option?
Is simply walking down the taxi rank looking for a Mai Linh sign safe enough? The article hardly bodes well.
I'm not sure if by "carefully observing drivers� uniforms and logos as well as telephone numbers on the taxis" I would be able to discern a fake taxi or not.
I do feel pretty naive asking about this, but these will be the first few minutes on Vietnamese soil that my family will experience - I don't want us to add to the list of victims.
Thanks in advance for your help. |
SAW EXACTLY WHAT YOU ARE SPEAKING OF, JB!
Just got to Ho Chi Minh, and there's all these kiind of weird looking fakes!! Like "M-Taxi" and another one I cannot remember the name ("TaxiLinh" or something like that).....
AND THEY USED THE SAME COLOURS AND LOGO!! Isn't that against the law.....???

I know several policeman and they are all good people.
Never have I been stopped and I was not wrong. They are very, very fair. What is needed is more police. |

This is a joke, right? |
