I must have been in about 35 different "taxis". Around 30 never had a meter and of the few that did it was'nt turned on. The fare was quoted or negotiated before setting off. Never had a problem.

LOL!!. The birds will tell by the look on your face and body language that its your first trip. They will slaughter you, in the nicest possible way!! Just lie back and enjoy it. Its only ever the first time once, unfortunately.
IMO your trying to apply Western logic to potential scenarios you may encounter in Thailand. One of the many reasons I like Pattaya is that you never really know for sure what will happen next. So you cant really plan for anything, just go with the flow and see where you end up.
Anyway where are you staying at?
