Where do I get a taxi from?

Convenience

Bangkok Suvarnabhumi Airport (BBK) can be very overwhelming, and having to find your way in Thailand’s hot humid weather with your children or heavy luggage is definitely not the best way to start your holiday. Taxis offer an affordable, fast, comfortable alternative. That said, there can be a long wait for an available taxi during busy times. So if you want even more convenience, consider booking an airport transfer instead.

Editor’s Note

Great for a convenient travel solution on demand.

Useful Tips

Please note that if you are traveling during peak times, your taxi driver will most likely take the Expressway toll for an additional €1.70 (THB 60).

Make sure your driver resets the taximeter before you begin your journey to avoid being overcharged.

Standard taxis at Suvarnabhumi Airport can carry up to 4 people and 3 pieces of regular sized luggage.

Tipping is not expected but always appreciated. A rate of THB 10 is a good tip in most cases.
