Hi guys!
Does anyone of you roughly know how much does it cost from bangkok airport to baiyoke sky hotel by taxi?
Roughly the fare, plus tolls, plus surcharge usually comes to around 350 baht. Meter taxi sign up desks are outside at the curb, first floor. Meter starts at 35 baht. You pay the meter fare plus surcharge at the hotel. Toll charges paid during the ride as you come to the booths. Have small bills to pay the driver, if you forget use a 500 baht note at the first toll booth to get change.

The price you pay for a meter taxi in Bangkok is for everyone you can safely stuff in the taxi - not per person! NO surcharge when you take a taxi to the airport!
While you are at this hotel take a walk to the Makkasan Rail link. This new rail service will be an another way to get to the airport.
Good luck.
Thanks for taking time to reply me :)
The Rail link is scheduled to open this week. Direct from the airport to downtown.
Good luck.
The new "Airport Link" express line opened today. It will get you from the airport, to Makkasan, for 100 baht, in less than a half hour. Makkasan's not far from the Baiyoke Sky, possibly a 50 baht taxi ride.
BTW, Baiyoke is pronounced "BI-YOK" ... long "I", long "O", the "E" is silent.
Where's the rail link at?
I understand that you catch it near the airport hotel tunnel. There should be plenty of people to point you to it.
Oooh okay sure. Thanks a lot :)
For a first timer in Bangkok I would just take the taxi for 350 bahts. I stayed at Baiyoke sky hotel before and it looks easy to get to but with all the commerical stores open, it is hard to find on foot. Sometimes it can be less than 350 too. Depends on traffic. Have fun in Thailand, take the air condition cab. Cheers Tommy x
Yup will consider taking a cab if I can't find. Hahaha! Thanks anyway :)
If you take the rail link, definitely take a taxi from Makkasan.
The "Express Line" stops running at 1am. If you arrive after that, you can take the "City Line" to Phayathai and taxi from there.
Okay thank you. Will reach Bkk in the morning like 8plus. Hahaha!
Should be less than 300 baht total by airport taxi. Go downstairs and get from taxi desk if you try to book your own will be signifacanly more. (unless you go to departures but that is tricky and you only save at best 50 baht)
Should be, could be, might be, but with Bangkok's traffic, one never knows. We once spent 1.5 hours traveling less than 2 kilometers, in our car.
When you do be sure to say "hello" to these two guys :) The one on the right is a Chinese sage at the stairs to the Royal Library. The other gold one is, as far as I can ascertain, guarding one of the temples to one of the King Ramas.

Be sure to have a good map/short guide with you or you will have trouble knowing where you are and what wat you're seeing ;)

Located on the crossroads area of
Phra Athit Rd. and Phra Sumeru Rd. (pronounce : Phra-Su-Mehn). This fortress was one of other 14 fortresses and line of walls surround Koh Rattanakosin (old city)
in 1783 (when Krungthep was build).
Many of Bangkoks most important "must sees" are wats. Wat is the Thai word for a Buddhist Temple. From Wat Arun to the Royal Palace Temple of the Emerald Buddha, these places are all wats. Here is my list of thingst thar are very important to know and consider when at any wat in Thailand.
1) Take off your shoes when entering a room where there is a Buddha image.
2) NEVER point the bottom of your feet at a Buddha image.
3) NEVER sit with your legs extended in front of you inside a wat building.
4) NEVER touch a Buddha image.
5) NEVER stand higher than a Buddha image.
6) Do not openly turn your back on a Buddha image.
7) Obey any rules that you are given about a place.
Light, natural fabrics. For example, cotton are best for staying cool. A sun hat or baseball cap is another extremely useful item to take with you.
Men should usually wear a suit and tie for business however, as a concession to climate, going in tie and shirtsleeves is acceptable. Generally, Thai tend to dress informally (mostly in western style) bu neatly and prefer visitors to do likewise. Respectable dress is required when visiting temples. Shoes and any head gear cap etc. shoud be removed whenever you enter a temple or a private home.
