Hey guys im taking a flight to bangkok on this thursday and ill arive at 11.40am there

its my 1st time in bangkok so haha i dont know much and would like to hear your experiences

so my question is

what kind of transport should i take from the airport to the hotel
im afraid there are some taxis that dont use the meter and would charge pretty high because we are tourist

anything to avoid?

because i know in hong kong i took the express train

my hotel would be frasers suite located at 55 South Sathorn Road, Tungmahamek,
Sathorn, Bangkok 10120

hehe thank you everyone!

Thank you! The threadstarter was mentioning about

"Most public taxi drivers will take the Bang-Na route to get to the city. It's further, which allows them to earn slightly more milleage from you. So, if you are daring enough, tell the taxi driver to take the "Motorway" route. This route is shorter distance, and more direct to the city. "Motorway" is the name the Thai's use for that particular stretch of highway, which leads you to the Rama 9 Rd, and from there you can get to the city with ease."

Was wondering do you just say use the motorway highway to the taxi driver? I dont even know how motorway looks like haha the taxi driver could take me to a longer road ! =)

Thanks...On the floating market, probably u went to the one opposite BKK city & not the original & authentic Danusk Saduak which is in hulu-hulu land about the distance from KL to Melaka! ..really inside Kampungs & lotsa of Mat Salleh...& the waterway was so cramp wth tourist, lotsa old ladies selling coconuts, vege, souvenirs, & food from the boat stalls....very authetic......BUT the motorboat trip is the one killing..so pricy! Should have taken the package tour.
