October 9, 20223 yr We arrive in Thailand in 4 weeks time on a Sunday about 4pm. Will be wanting a taxi to Ayutthaya, where’s best to get one please? Pre-book? Or normal taxi rank? we usually head south when we arrive and a friend picks us up, so this is our first time needing transport from the airport. Many thanks in advance
October 10, 20223 yr I usually take a meter taxi which cost around 800 baht to Bang Pa-In which is 20 minutes before Ayutthaya. But many will try to charge a set fee. The airport gives you a Taxi Complaint Form at the meter taxi queue. As soon as I get in the taxi, I take photos of his license. If he complains about meter, I show the complaint form and offer a 100B tip. Has always worked for me. You can call my taxi guy also, he lives in Rangsit and speaks OK English and has a nice van. Amnat Taxi 081-491-4377. I usually give him 1000B and he is very happy. Prices may have gone up since Covid, these prices were pre-Covid.

October 10, 20223 yr Bangkok taxis are not bound to use their meters for destinations outside the city limits. So a fixed fare is applicable, which is negotiable. I thought it was now 1500 baht from Suvarnabhumi to Ayutthaya, but I could be wrong. Normally, the driver would ask for more and you would try to get it for less.

Yes, they start by asking higher , luckily my “negotiator” brought it down to 1200 baht ( including tolls , 60 baht ???? ). This was beginning of September.
