ZHALKAU Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 Hi everyone! How much would it cost to take a taxi from the airport to Muang (supposedly near Kata)? Generally, how easy is it to get a taxi in the airport? THanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kasi Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 The cheapest is the mini-bus scam. 150 to patong. Beware though they will stop at a tour shop and order you out of the van and hustle you to sell a tour. The other option is the meter taxi about 400-500 baht including the 100 baht airport surcharge. You have to walk out of he terminal though to the northeast area of the parking lot. The private limo/van will be double that. The meter taxi is the best way but none of the annoying touts will help you find them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kasi Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 (edited) Thanks for the info! Just 2 more questions - How do these metered taxies look? how do i tell them where to go? Do I need to have the address written in Thai? Good point I've always known where I was going or had a cell phone with me. Cell phones are invaluable! They should know the hotel if it's not too tiny or obscure. The Kata beach area isn't very big. You might get lucky and get a driver who knows a little english and his way around! If not it's all part of the fun of being in thailand, the land of "never mind"! Edited November 3, 2006 by kasi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
