Narrative:

I got my clearance; which was to taxi down to runway 36 at taxiway G via taxiway C. While I was taxiing down taxiway C; I noticed another caravan landed long on runway 36. They continued down runway 36 and exited at taxiway B. I taxied to the right side after they exited off runway 36 for taxiway B. Ground gave the clearance to use caution for company traffic and maintain right side taxi to parking. I was never told to taxi on the right side or told to hold short of any intxns or runways. I figured they would hold for me to pass as the taxiway is not wide enough for 2 caravans at that point but they continued exiting off taxiway B to taxiway C and 1/2 way through their turn they clipped my left wingtip. We stopped abruptly at a 45 degree angle on taxiway C. They called ground and told them we had clipped wingtips. I asked my passenger if they were all ok. I then; too; contacted ground stating that we had clipped wings. Ground asked us if we wanted to file a report but we both declined.
