⚠️ Important Local Taxi & Arrival Tips

  • Only use the official airport taxi queue on Level 1 between Gates 4 and 7; ignore touts offering rides inside the arrivals hall.
  • Insist the taxi driver switches on the meter. The official airport surcharge is 50 THB and expressway tolls are paid separately; do not agree to a fixed price unless you negotiate it clearly in advance.
  • For the Airport Rail Link, keep cash for a token as backup because some foreign contactless cards are reported to fail at the gates.
  • Avoid unlicensed taxi or limousine offers in the arrivals hall. If you want a fixed-price car, use the official AOT Limousine counter on Level 2 or a pre-booked transfer.
