Taxi Cost from Suvarnabhumi Airport to Hotel on Soi Sukhumvit 13

[TheJayMan]

I would like to go from Suvarnabhumi Airport to a hotel on Soi Sukhumvit 13 at 9:30 am in the morning. It is about 32 km.  What would be a fair taxi Cost from for that including tolls? 

 

I asked a taxi driver that I used before in Pattaya if he could take me there and then to Central World Mall.  He said someone on his team could do it for 1000 baht.  I think that is a bit high.  I was thinking of asking to just go to the hotel and taking the BTS to the mall.

"What would be a fair taxi Cost..."

Whatever is shown on the meter (plus the airport B50 booking fee).  Probably less than B500?  - it's a long time since I've done that trip.   Toll roads aren't a necessity.

Use bolt. They pick you up by the white tent on the ground floor.

The fare and airport fee should come in around 300 THB, depending greatly on traffic.

Over 500 THB and I would be highly suspicious.

Thanks!  I have the Bolt App and will give it a try.

 

The Pattaya taxi driver quoted 800 baht to just go to the hotel.

250 to 300 baht...any more and you are being robbed.

Post what it cost you. Make sure the driver accepts the bolt rate plus tolls. A few try to bump it up. It took a few tries to get an honest driver last time I took it to Pattaya.

Being robbed.....we always go on the meter....much to their annoyance...250/300 B.

[Lorry]

Posters who say 250 probably haven't done this trip for a long time.

300 is a good price if it includes the 50 baht airport taxi fee.

Could be a bit more,  but definitely less than 400.

 

Of course,  always use the meter.
