Hello-

For those who have experience with these hotels, curious if you think it's easier to use airport transfers (likely at inflated costs) or just use taxis from the airport to/from hotel:

- Bangkok: Old Bangkok Inn (quoted 950 bht)
- Krabi: Centara Krabi Bay Resort (quoted 4,500 bht)

Thanks.

the question really centers on how much luggage you have.....for bkk, most all taxis are toyota corollas with very small trunks....so a limo (large sedan) is really best....it would be about 950 B

i think 4500 is way tooooo high for krabi...will you be flying to phuket? i would just get a taxi at the airport....but have directions written in thai from the hotel....

The Old Bangkok Inn's price is reasonable. It's what you would pay for a car service. It's of course, much more than a taxi, but we always have lots of (empty) luggage for shopping.

Are you flying into Krabi or into Phuket? Either way, that's a lot of money for a transfer.

For Central Krabi Bay, yes, we'll be flying into Phuket.

The hotel says it's 2-2 1/2 hours from airport to hotel, so 4500 did seem high.

Well, if you're flying into Phuket, the transfer will be more than if you are flying into Krabi. Still, 4500 seems really high.
