BTW my cab ride to the airport today was BHT217 (excluding tolls) so I think you and me kanna ripped off! Even if there was a traffic snarl along the expressway the meter couldn't have jumped that much.

If more cases then there could be a scam by the taxi operators to compensate their loss of earnings due to the airport rail link? Bro YY and my taxi fare was almost BHT400 (before tolls and surcharges)! Other bros out there got the same experience recently when taking taxi from airport to town?
Suggest bros here to take the BTS Skytrain / MRT - Airport Rail Link City Line, the next time round. each trip should be 20~40 baht. so the with transfer should add up no more than 80baht. Plenty of savings & the trains air-con is cold and not congested.

The passerbys / mrt personnels / security personnels are also quite pleased to guide me along when i seek directions there, few days back. So no worries if lost your way. Armed with a map, simple pasa thai, we are all ready to go.

btw, the weather is damn hot & humid (no wind) in bkk for the past few days, even at night. most shopping centres also warm, even if it is air-conditioned. Not sure is it bcoz of the weather or they want to save on the electricity bills..
