November 22, 201411 yr Can't remember from last time I was in the airport... Are there any ATM's to avoid in the airport? Will need to take out some baht when we arrive in 2 weeks. It'll be late when we arrive (1am) so will need to taxi to Suk. Rd. Can anyone tell me if there is a toll charge at that time of night?
November 23, 201411 yr Tolls are collected at all hours of the day or night, and the tolls are the same day or night. Only during selected announced holidays are tolls waived. So, from a "toll" perspective, there largely is no difference day or night. Do remember however that it is likely at night or early morning hours, the time you actually save by using a toll road may be less (or far less) because of the lower vehicle levels on non-toll roads; thus minimizing the "value" if you will, of the tolls.

November 23, 201411 yr I do not know differences of the airport ATMs compared to the ones in the country. Maybe there are, higher fees than the usual 150/180 Baht would be a way to rip the customers. The yellow Krungsri ATMs e.g, offer "DCC", meaning that the Thai Bank does the conversion and debits your card in your home currency. NEVER accept that and cancel transaction. The exchange rate is fraudulent. Maybe it can happen at other ATMs also.
November 23, 201411 yr Forgot to describe about DCC: you request a certain amount of Thai Baht, the ATM will then display an amount in your currency to confirm. Don't! Cancel! The usual display: an additional fee in Thai Baht (150, 180, more?).
