Where do I get a taxi from?

Convenience

Bangkok Suvarnabhumi Airport (BBK) can be overwhelming. Having to find your way around Thailand’s hot humid weather with your children or heavy luggage is definitely not the best way to start your holiday. Moreover, taxis in Thailand are very affordable, so why not avoid the unnecessary hassle and take a fast, comfortable and air-conditioned taxi to Hua Hin. The only downsides of taking a taxi are having to carry your luggage from Baggage Claim to the taxi rank and waiting for an available cab, both of which can be avoided by booking a private transfer. 

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 that the taximeter is reset before you begin your journey to avoid being overcharged.
Standard taxis at Bangkok Airport can carry up to 4 people and 3 pieces of regular-sized luggage.
Most taxi drivers in Bangkok don’t carry card machines. Therefore, we recommend always carrying Thai Baht on you in cash to pay for your fare.
