What's best way to go, and cost? Looks like a (meter) taxi ride would be expensive...

Tnx!

Meterd taxi Ekamai - Suvarnabhumi: 197 Baht, 20 mins. Gave the driver 300B before he mentioned any surcharges.

From the same place, taxi to Don Muang was 230B and same time.

Every taxi has a little plate attached to the door with his serial number. Always helps to keep bill lower and trip funnier.

Anyone have any idea what the fare is to Silom area?  I haven't been back in the country since Suvaru opened and my mental metric for "hey, it shouldn't be that much" that I had for DM to Silom is completely lost.  Also - expressway still?

Thanks for any help :o

Why does everyone worry about this?  In any other country in the world people jump into taxis to the airport all the time.  A taxi from just about anywhere in the Bangkok CBD (Sukhumvit, Sathorn, Silom etc) will cost around 180-200 baht plus any tolls.  

I've said it before and I'll say it again. I can't think of any other country where the taxi service to and from the airport is cheaper or more efficient.

$4-$5 dollars?  If you're worried about that, I suggest you stay at home.

the guys are just checking the prices so they dont get over charged.
whats the problem? nobody likes to get ripped off,some people like to plan every aspect of their trip or maybe they are not experienced travellers  :o
