'Mode': AROUND
Category: Car/Motor Home
Getting TO/AROUND: After you collect your bags and clear customs at the Don Muang airport, you now need to find the best way to get to your hotel. If you have a friend or a hotel taxi picking you up, then this tip maynot be so helpful. They would be waiting for you at the visitors area and will take care of you. If not, read on…
If you need to take a taxi, you might want to avoid the Deluxe Taxi counters. These places will charge THB 400 for the service when you can get a regular taxi outside for about half the price. Keep walking through the crowd of people and take a right until you get out of the airport building, then look out for the taxi stand.
Just tell the girl at the counter which hotel you are staying at. She will write something on a piece of paper and hand it to a taxi driver. He will load your bags into his taxi. Tell him your destination, make sure the cab meter reads THB 35 at the beginning of your journey. Please tell the driver to take the "Toll Way" which is faster and will cost THB 70 extra. At the end of the trip, he will add on the THB 50 airport surcharge.
There you go, hope you find this useful.
After my next trip, I will upload a pic of the taxi stand. I forgot to take a pic during my last visit.
