Better than 600B mafia 'taxi' so there are options although own transport in most cases to be preferred Wow- a whole big B50 saved! With the hassle it took most would blow the money on the available taxi. Desperate times if one can't afford it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desperate times if one can't afford it. it's not about a 10% saved or not although many people do go through serious hassle to avoid the bkk airport 50B surcharge lol. anyway do you wanna fight the market or go with the flow to have it never changing? up to you as they say :) I did my little bit & sure were the taxi mafia were pissed as we walked past them... BTW no major hassle as we were having our lunch at the excellent cafe at the pier & had the flight several hours later so time better spent at pier than airport...but thanks for your comment bro!
