Taxi From Hotel To Airport In Bangkok

[AzarovDmitriy]

Dear friends,

I am in Novotel Hotel (Silom) in Bangkok now.

We are going to fly to my home country tomorrow.

Please, could someone help me with an advice?

What is the best way to take a taxi from hotel to airport?

Thank in advance.

With best regards

Dmitrii.

Ask at the Concierge.

Get reception to get one for you or use their limousine service.

I must admit to being somewhat perplexed that this question needs to be asked.

Whatever, ask your concierge, he should also know the approximate travel time to the airport at various times of day.

Ehhh....I get the impression OP is asking for the best ROUTE to the airport...?

[beano2274]

How about this from the hotels own website, just do it the other way around

I find the best way is to just get in the Taxi and sit down, standing inside a taxi can be complex especially if it doesn't have a sunroof. That's of course unless your only 2ft tall. Are you over 2 ft tall? If so please be seated. When the driver says "Where you go?" and listen carefully now... that is known as a question the nice driver will be expecting an answer. Your two choices yes two; are "Don Muang" pronounced "Don-Moo-Ang" or "Suvarnabhumi" pronounced "Swam-pee".

By now the fear ought to have subsided and you'll be on your way. How you'll manage to check in god only knows, but perhaps that's a question for another thread. I wouldn't want to go off topic that just isn't on.

In truth the answer is to walk out to the road and hail a taxi rather than allow the concierge to book one. However if you can afford to stay in the Novotel then the advice above of using the hotel's service is probably best. They'll ask your flight time and then factor in everything for you.

Ask at the Concierge.

Good advice.

Which Airport do you fly out of?

Get a meter taxi.

Expect to pay Tolls.

Come back to us with more information.

Either airport from there is no more then 300 Baht by Taxi

You may wish to utter the words moto way. Otherwise he might manages to circumnavigate the most direct route.

Seriously, what does the OP mean with best, cheapest - use a meter taxi, most pleasant - ask the concierge for a limo service.

The limo service is so cheap, why bother even thinking about taxis?

[smokie36]

Make sure you don't leave during rush hour from Silom....the traffic is a nightmare.

Posts have been removed. No need to hack on the OP just because he is asking a basic question that the answer to you seems obvious. Not everybody's travel experience is the same.

Thanks.

Something doesn't sound right. Just leaving and never taken a taxi before,here or at home.

How did the OP get to the hotel in the first place?

No need to walk outside, ask the concierge, relax, have a seat, he will call a taxi for you, tell the driver your destination and make sure the meter is used, put your lugagge in the trunk and close the door, ,give him 20 baht. I do it all the time leaving hotels.

[beano2274]

The OP has gone by now

If anyone is interested, this web site will calculate taxi fares across a wide area of Bangkok. Not sure how accurate it is for downtown trips but for Minburi area and to/from city center it seems to be pretty close.
