If you’ve been to Bangkok, you’ve likely seen how colorful the taxis are. Thai taxis come in many bright colors — like a rainbow on the road! But these colors aren’t just for looks. They actually show who owns the taxi and how it’s run.

Two-tone taxis (Green & Yellow)These are owned by individual drivers. They’re self-employed, which means they run their own taxi business. Since they own the car, these taxis are usually well looked after and give a more personal service.
 

 Single-color taxisThese belong to taxi companies or cooperatives. Each color shows which group the taxi is part of. For example:

• Pink – Sahamit Taxi Cooperative
• Blue – Thai Taxi Cooperative
• Orange – Bowon Taxi Cooperative
• Yellow – Samakkhitham Taxi Cooperative

Drivers usually rent these taxis from the company. The color helps people know which company the taxi belongs to — useful if you lose something or have a problem.

The color of a Thai taxi isn’t just for show. It helps you understand who owns the car, how it’s operated, and even who to contact if needed. So next time you’re in Thailand, take a look — those bright colors actually tell you a lot!
