Hi all.

When I arrive in BKK, I usually take the Airport Express bus (AE2) that drops me in the Khaosan Rd area about 2 blocks from where I stay. On this trip, it looks like I will be arriving with more stuff than usual and more than I want to deal with on the bus. Any suggestions for a reasonably priced alternative that can get me to the same general area?

Thanks

David

Thanks for the reply elliss.

A taxi was something I was considering but did not have a feel for the cost. Since I have always taken the bus, I had not checked taxi prices when I have been there before.

I you have too much luggage for a bus, then you're only alternative is a taxi.

It will cost in the range of 400 baht - including fare (about 250 baht), airport taxi fee (50 baht) and tolls (70 baht).

Thanks whybother. I always forget how inexpensive the taxis are in Thailand. A taxi costs me about $16 US to go from the airport to my house here ... and I can see the airport from the entrance to my subdivision.

If I end up bringing the additional box of stuff, the difference between the bus and taxi will be worth it.

Just make sure u ignore the touts that claim to be a 'taxi' and make sure its at the official taxi rank.

Personally, I go to the Departure Terminal (same terminal, different floor) and take one of the arriving taxis. This is not to save the THB50 airport fee, but cos in times past I had problems when I refused to accept a 10 year old taxi, when 2nd in line was a brand new taxi with functioning aircon. The old taxis tend to congregate at the airport cos most Thai will not flag them down, street side.
