Hints:
You will receive many offers for taxis and hotels just before
leaving the arrival zone! Ignore them. Say: "no thank
you". Most of these services are too expensive. After
leaving the arrival zone without losing money, you may wish
to first visit one of the
currency
exchange services. That's ok! Do it.
To go to Bangkok now, you will need a taxi. There are private
taxis called taxi and public taxis called taxi-meter. Take a
taxi-meter, because it is much more cheap. Some private taxis
pay money to the airport, so they have a better location for
waiting for passengers. Money-Hint: Use the exit on the
third floor (departure) and ask an incoming metered taxi for
take you to your desired destination. These metered taxis generally
come from Bangkok to carry passengers to the airport.
Here is the best (and cheapest) place to get transportation
to Bangkok central. How to "use" a taxi: First, tell the
driver your destination. If the driver likes that, tell
him you want transportation "by meter". If he still agrees,
you have your first golden deal. We highly recommend to
enter the taxi now! Let him use the "express road" and
give him the tollway fee (40 Baht). Finally, you will
pay estimated 250 Baht (depending on destination). If the
traffic is very busy in Bangkok (it happens sometimes...), many
drivers do not like to go "by meter" and you must bargain for
the price. You should not accept more than 70% of his first
offer. Do not enter the taxi before fixing the price!
Finally, you will pay 300-500 Baht (depending on traffic and
location). Hotel: You can book a hotel at one of the counters
in the airport, but take note of the location and the price,
but this is not the best idea! Try to
book a
Bangkok hotel before arriving ... over the Internet.
