Overall

Some metered taxi's in Bangkok are crooks watch out!! We were quoted 50 bhat for a 100 bhat fare and when we got in the car, the driver wanted to take us somewhere else first so we can "help him" in return for offering us a cheap fare. God know where he wanted to take us but we managed to get out in the middle of the road before he drove for long. This happened to us twice with different taxi's so if they quote you a very stupid fare, my advise is don't take it, we were wiser next time a taxi quoted us 50 bhat for what is usually a 200 bhat fare! Best to use one who will switch on his meter than negotiate the fare. And even then they can drive you around for miles before taking you to your destination to increase the fare so best to look at a map or carry one with you before you jump in a taxi.
