It’s quicker, it’s more comfortable, you don’t have to walk/ travel extra miles to your accommodation, reliable and waiting for you, no queueing, and it runs on time. OK it costs 7 times as much (about 1300 baht) but that’s only 3/4 of the cost of short time off! After 5,500 miles travelling I’m not going to pinch pennies on 1300 baht. By the way the same distance in the UK would cost you about 7000 baht, so it’s no contest! Same. I don't trust myself and my sense of direction after a long flight. But I pre-book taxi via Klook app and depending on car of your choice (i.e standard to more comfy SUV) , cost will be between 500 - 900 baht toll included.

I believe age 70 or over; disabled; etc, etc.. Just went through fast track yesterday and it took 2 minutes. BL8gPt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
