Hi there, late next month I am due to arrive in BKK from London. Since I have driver coming up from Jomtien, where should I advise him to meet me. The old Don Muang was a snip but in this new one, I may get a boy pushing the wheelchair who speaks little or no English, so it essential I have a specific rendezvous point. I do not want to end up flopping all over the place on my crutches with baggage for a 6 months stay. Being rather impoverished, I certainly don’t want to hook up with the horror stories I’ve heard about the limousine mafia scams at Suvarnabhumi airport! Any and all advice greatly appreciated.

Any time my aged mother came here to visit me, she insisted on wheelchair service from Belfast right through to BKK (using B. Midland & B. Airways). She has never had any problems, and the guy pushing her out to the arrivals area seemed cheery enough. My mum insisted on giving him a tip for his troubles.

So, I suppose, arrange a chair service from your airline, smile a lot, chit-chat to the pusher (wheelchair, that is!!) and arrange to meet your Jomtien driver at either international arrival gate B or C as that is where you'll exit.

your driver can park in car park on arrivals level and meet you as described above as there is good wheelchair access to the carpark as well
