KIO Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 Hi all, Usually use the same driver (with big car) when arriving Swampy and heading into town but have lost his card. Does anyone have a good contact to share that can fit 3 people, 2 regular luggage and 3 carry on. I usually pay 500 (including toll) when going to Soi 22 so was thinking in that range. Thanks in advance KIO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackcab Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 Or you could use the public taxi service. The ticket machines are divided by short journeys, regular sized taxis and large taxis, with one set of machines just for large taxis which will meet your requirements. Prices are metered, plus the 50 baht airport surcharge and plus tolls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why I prefer the private driver. Arriving around 8 PM so just want to be out of there! BTW, what does the meter usually stop at these days when going downtown?

blackcab Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 About 300-340 baht in a normal size taxi, depending on traffic, route, etc (50 baht airport surcharge and tolls are in addition). I'm not sure if the meters on large public taxis charge a slightly higher rate or not. Perhaps someone else could clarify that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bang Bang Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 Just go to the departure level 4 and walk out to where the taxis drop off leaving passengers. They're all looking for custom to take back to town. No line, eezy peezy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "risk" one takes here as we require a larger sized taxi is that there is not one around and may be a wait of 20-40 minutes. But great tip though mate, will do this one for sure when arriving for sure next time! KIO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackcab Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 It really depends, but the new electronic system is good. I've seen no queues and about 30 people in a line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackdd Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 I can confirm what blackcab said I used a larger taxi there about 2 months ago, had to wait maybe 2 or 3 minutes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
