Has anyone used Uber taxi's from Don Muang airport to the city? Or are there restrictions because of the usual airport taxi's

Even if you need a lift 0.5 km to/from the airport, you have to pay 350 Baht. The app will show 78 Baht or whatever, but the driver will demand 350 and put you on the phone with an Uber representative if you disagree. I don't know why they don't just fix the app but that's the way it is. Been there, done that - only 10 days ago.

I wonder how much they pay the guy who plays the Uber rep.

 

That's genius.  Evil.  But genius.

Try BKK forum - not CNX forum

Airport metered taxi to Sukhumvit soi 11 costs 199 baht, not including toll fee and tip.

Except that my wife was handed the phone and spoke with the guy from Uber. Furthermore, he gave her 87 Baht in credits for the inconvenience of having to get out.

Just wonder why you posted this in the CHIANG MAI Forum when you actually talk about Bangkok ?

 

And at DMK airport, it is for sure easier and even cheaper to use a regular metered airport taxi. UBER is expensive from both airports, and it can be a hassle to actually detect your driver in the mess that are DMK and BKK airports
