Daewoo Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 I will be coming through Swampy late at night, and am thinking of overnighting in Pattaya rather than BKK as I would usually do. Normally I would go to departures level to catch a BKK Meter Taxi, who has just dropped someone off, back into town. I know from experience it is hard to get a BKK meter taxi willing to go to Pattaya, and especially if you want it for a reasonable price. My questions are; Will a BKK meter Taxi on the departures level (or even the official rank) want a fare to Pattaya. Will I get it on the meter? What is a reasonable fare? Mostly I am worried about walking up and down the appron on the departures level, with all my bags, trying to get a taxi willing to go to Pattaya that late at night (last flight from HKT - arriving about 11:30pm). Next issue is the cost. I am happy to pay 1000 baht or so… I assume I will be able to get cheaper accommodation in Pattaya, so the end spend will be the same… Don't want buses because of the time and my desire to have a beer in my hand as soon as I can … Cheers, Daewoo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basil B Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 (edited) when i came back in march after midnight touts everywhere offering taxis for 1500 baht to pattaya Merccedes Volvo good rides. Heared two first hand reports over the weekend of the clamp down of the touts, they just can not opperate for the tight security. One report of one tout getting litrally booted out the airport, so best to book a car to pick you up, rates for pick up start at 1000, driver waiting outside customs for you.

thaihome Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 Came in last Tuesday. No touts, only AOT limo people running around. The entire inner road at arrivals is full of AOT limos. No sign of meter taxi stand, did they move it back down to lower level again? You can only get to the outer road at gate 3, all others entrances are blocked.
