  • New BKK Airport

    Just returned from BKK and the new airport. They seem to have their shit together as my bags arrived at baggage claim within 10 minutes of my long walk from the gate.

    If you walk right out at that level to catch a cab.....they will try to clip you for 800 Baht to BKK. Walk up a level or two to the "meter" taxi area and it will be about 180 Baht plus airport fee of 50 Baht and then if you choose the toll road, another 65 Baht. Returning to the airport from BKK, the cabs will try a flat rate scam as well. I usually agree on 400 Baht and they pay the tolls...not me. If you get lucky(as I did) I went to the arrival level and caught a cab that had just dropped off a person and he had not entered the que for meter taxis and therefore no 50 baht airport fee was charged.
    ....so,  you're really a guy?..............

              (stogie bear @ Oct. 30 2006,21:40) Bus Number 550 - Suvarnabhumi Airport - Happy Land
              Happy Land?

              Thanks Stogie!

              Anyone know how frequently the bus leaves to Pattaya?
              The cost?  Express?  Baht bus charge from bus station to South Pattaya?

              Meter cab charge? Time saved?

                  The 553 bus goes from just where I live in SamutPrakan so I'll be paying about 24 Baht to get too and from the airport in future!

                    just for comparison purposes, to get to and from LAX for "about 24 baht", you'd have to be living in the pay toilet -- at LAX.
