Which airport to use in Bangkok?
I can arrive at either of the airports from Phuket. Via public taxi, which one of these options will allow get me into the city faster? Arriving about 10:30am on a Monday.

I would choose DMK as you can get out of the airport much quicker than BKK. The average time at DMK for me, with checked in luggage, is about 20 minutes after landing until I'm sitting in my car or a cab. At BKK it takes me much longer and I hate the long.... walks!

As Bob says, either airport is just fine. I always stay at the Sheraton Royal Orchid, and while it takes less time in the taxi from the new airport than from the old airport, Hanuman is quite right about the long walks in the new airport.
Take the most convenient flight for you, as the sirport really doesn't make a big difference.
