Public taxi would be around 400 Baht, including surcharge (50 Baht) and tolls (70 to 90 Baht, can't remember exactly).

The airport limos are usually double the taxi fare, so I would say 700 Baht or so.

i have been quoted 65B for the tolls and the limo will be about 1300B each way as i remember .....much more than previously, but well worth any amount after a long ride from overseas...

jules...i just looked at their site and they claim the aac limo is 950 from the new airport plus tolls...that is about 250 more than the old airport...money well spent

what is the site to book the transfers ?

Kathie Sep 26th, 2006 05:57 AM

Bob, I'm glad to hear that the price estimate for limo transfers in down to 950+tolls.

Are you pre-booking? I usually don't but I may do so this time with the confusion of the new airport.

...I'm booking on there today for arrival 19th Nov- rather not leave anything to chance with the new airport!

Thanks Bob I knew I had read something like that from you but just could not find it last night so thank you for posting. I am like Kathie don't usually pre book but just may do this time!

booked the limo service from BKK to Shangri-La .

you cannot complete the booking on their site, as it only has the old rates in the booking process.
they do have on their home page, a link at the buttom for the new rates.

any way, first, registered as a VIP client in their site. then emailed them.

got a confirmation.
price 950% - 10% discount (to VIP clients) = 855 + 65 tolls
so total of 920.

A taxi to the Majestic Grande will cost you roughly 300baht. The cost to get to Suk 11 from the airport is:

191 Taxi
65 Tolls
50 Airport surcharge

Majestic Grande is a little closer than Suk 11.

kathie...our final deal with the marriott (14 nites) includes two way transfers so they will pick us up initially and return us at the end...

i have prebooked (with AAC) for our return from india however....they are charging me 1350B + 65B for airport to marriott, 15 minute stop and then a transfer to the bangkok hyatt (to catch their 10AM shuttle van to hua hin hyatt--500B each btw).. i just find it easier to pre book...
