Transport From Airport to Downtown Hotel

Wondering what we should expect the cost of a taxi from the airport to our hotel in the Pratunam area to be.

Our hotel offers a limo service for 2,900 bhat, but we suspect there might be less expensive alternatives.

Transport From Airport to Downtown Hotel

Taxi cost about 300-350 baht depending on time of day/traffic, plus surcharges - see below.

Public taxis are the most popular way to get into town. On the arrival concourse you��ll see a ��Public Taxi�� desk. Taxis vary from some older vehicles to very new ones, and some van-type taxis ideal for 3-4 people with lots of bags. All taxis run on natural gas and most of the boot (trunk) is taken up with the NG tank.

Tell the supervisor your destination. He will give you a slip of white paper. Hold onto it, do not give it to the driver, as it has instructions on what to do in the unlikely event of any problem.

When you get into the taxi, make sure the meter is on and showing 35 baht. On arrival at your hotel, you��ll have to pay the fare on the meter, plus an airport surcharge of 50 baht that is not shown on the meter. In addition there are expressway tolls of 70 baht for most city center destinations.
