OTP top taxi pickup and dropoff areas.
Top pickup and dropoff area analytics from taxi GPS data with weekday/weekend splits and area labels such as subdistrict, district, and province. Useful for demand heatmaps and taxi-area ranking, not live dispatch.

How this helps travel recommendations
Turns Thailand taxi and ride-hailing into source-backed decisions: whether a service is legal, what the fare rule actually is, where airport pickup happens, whether a stand or motorcycle-taxi win exists, which areas have strong taxi demand, and which app or complaint surface can actually support the claim.

Developer reference
Use DLT for legal registry, driver-license, operator-license, Taxi OK/VIP, complaints, and app-certification context; OTP/MOT for aggregate taxi GPS analytics and pickup/dropoff zones; AOT for airport taxi counters and surcharge rules; OSM/Google/Longdo/NOSTRA for stands and pickup points; and platform APIs only where explicit authorization exists.
Check weekly for change detection, but treat the official publication period as the real cadence.

Example request
# Verify the documented taxi endpoint before production use.
curl -L "https://www.data.go.th/organization/otp" -H "Accept: application/json"Failure modes
- There is no single all-taxi Thailand API.
- Public taxi data is usually aggregate, legal, or airport-specific rather than live dispatch.
- OTP taxi GPS analytics do not expose raw GPS traces, live vehicle positions, driver identity, or passenger identity.
- Ride-hailing apps show ETA, fare, and driver data to users, but that does not make it a public ingest API.
- Airport taxi surcharge, baggage, and toll rules differ from street-hail or app pricing.
- Motorcycle taxis, metered taxis, airport limousines, and app hire-cars need different service models.
- Taxi stands and motorcycle-taxi wins are often under-mapped or informal.
- Complaint datasets are useful for trends, not for realtime operational quality.
- Batch files can change schema, naming, encoding, or publication cadence.
