Just ignore them, move to the ground floor and pick your taxi from there. There are more than "a few" at Suvarnabhumi. In a couple of spots it was nearly impossible to wheel a luggage cart between them. That is because you TCHIOWA are to fat for that - has nothing to do with the luggage! I had no problem you idiot and so had my wife! You haven't flown international for years. The taxi tout problem is much different at the international arrival gates. |

Suvarnabhumi and taxi touts
I'll cut to the reading comprehension delight ;~)

I found that the FAR better access from parking than at Don Muang made an easy short haul from the elevator (up to 4th level) and across to my inlaws' auto when arriving internationally. Sorry (not) that no one meets you when you arrive (who isn't needing money in hand for the experience), but that's not surprising. I see. So now you are acknowledging using the departure area at DM for arrivals in direct opposition to the laws and intent. QUOTE FAR better access from parking than at Don Muang /Q annnnnd: QUOTE an easy short haul from the elevator (up to 4th level) and across to my inlaws' auto when arriving internationally /Q So, mind telling how that has anything to do with OTHER than Swanaboom? LMAO! You are SO desperate ! Is there a reason you don't just use the arrivals area? Or are you just one of those who think you are too good for the rules? Dig the hole deeper. Also interesting that you have to rely on your wife's family to provide you transportation. Pay attention. One arrival was international. One arrival was domestic. Or is that just something you made up? After all you *DID* say that you used the free bus. You're funny-almost. As to the rest: yes, I employ a Thai driver. And a Thai maid. I *add* to Thailand rather than being a parasite. LOL ! You truly are pathetic. AOT needs to deal with the taxi tout situation. It's a whole bunch worse than Don Muang. Don Muang was more annoyingly 'touted up' in my experience. "Experience"? One visit every other year doesn't really add up to a whole lot of "experience". I've previously offered the wager you've ignored. I don't recall a wager but if you think you can prove it, give it a whirl. Let's sort out the escrow banker, the terms, and the amount you'd like to lose--and designate a legal venue. Your claim is 'I visit every other year' Let's give you a chance not to lose, LOL! Period: 2002-2007. How many BKK arrival stamps in my US passport and you'll cede defeat and pay up? Make it a rich enough bet--bare minimum $10K, though I'd prefer to put much more at risk. Got any nads or just mouth? There's been a lot of recent press comment in Asia about the new airport's problems ...cracks in the runways, taxiways and poor water drainage etc and I believe it must be true, although I didn't actually see any of it when I landed domestically 16th Feb and left 20th Feb. Apparently 'tchiowa' did not sit in the pilot's cabin ;~) Cracks in the runway can be felt as you taxi over them. Nonsense. LARGE cracks could be felt, as can ripples in the tarmac. And you can feel those in Changi as you could in DM but not in Suvarnabhumi. So you say. We saw (or rather, passed by) that coach (or a similar one--on bottom level 1) on the way to the free shuttle to the public bus terminal--it looked like a poor way to spend a large bus fare, especially as the public buses are clean and spacious, and run frequently from the bus terminal. 5555555555 "Free"? I guess that's why the taxi touts didn't go after you. You look like someone looking for something for "free". A desperate thing, you, and one whose actual commingling with Thai is apparently limited to those you hire for service. And marry and work with and socialize with and live among. So, other than your spouse, you have no family in BKK area? Returning from Hat Yai (Air Asia) we enjoyed seeing my wife's niece off on her bus from the public terminal, I see. You arrived on a domestic flight and then when over to the International gates to look at the signs? Huh? You're rather confused here. Desperate, too. and then took ours to Nonthaburi (the bus continues on to Rangsit), from which we cabbed out to Bang Bua Thong. ALL of your inlaws are up on the plateau, is that the deal? Hmmm. I thought your inlaws picked you up in their car. You need to start working on keeping your lies straight. LOL ! Your desperation AND reading deficiency is transparent. Take some time to think about: 1. When one goes through immigration. 2. Whether one goes through immigration when flying WITHIN LOS. You're *almost* funny ! |

The topic was specifically International. That means Immigration. Further you still got caught lying. You said that your inlaws picked you up in their car now you admit you took the bus. So let me know when you're willing to make the bet. Is 1/4 as many entries as I have 2002-2007 fair enough, Mr. "Experience"? |

On 24 Mar 2007 03:19:09 -0700 'Tchiowa' posted this onto rec.travel.air: I've flown in and out of the new airport a couple of times domestically. My wife and I just returned from my first international trip using Suvarnabhumi instead of Don Muang. First the good. All of the whining and complaining about the new airport appears to be just the standard "growing pains". Check in on departure was fast. The airport fee is now included in the ticket price so that delay is gone. Immigration was standard for Thailand (slow). I flew Singapore Air. They don't have their own lounge as they did in Don Muang but the Thai Airways lounge is top drawer. On arrival the landing was smooth. I didn't see the rough tarmac that people had complained about. Taxiing was actually smoother than Changi. 5 minute walk to Immigration (lucked out on that one). Only 4 people in front of me at the Immigration line so that only took a few minutes. Checked luggage was a bit slow but not bad. Then came the bad. There are so many taxi touts that it is difficult to walk through the terminal. Several tried to escort us. A couple tried to take our bags off the cart to "be helpful". Out the door and the closest road is reserved for taxis and limos. We had to walk to the center divider to the second road so that my driver could meet us. AOT needs to deal with the taxi tout situation. It's a whole bunch worse than Don Muang. But other than that the experience at Suvarnabhumi was actually better than it usually was at DM. There's been a lot of recent press comment in Asia about the new airport's problems ...cracks in the runways, snip snap Actually I think the Thai Newspapers wrote Taxiways, not actually the runways but the taxiways and parking areas, but that maybe has changed since Feb? /Nisse -- Remove the obvious part before replying by mail please! |

You picked an odd range of years. Obviously attempting to include one year that you came more than once that would skew your average. I offered several different scenarios and you snipped them all. You claim "experience" yet you have very little. How about this for a wage? I bet I have more international arrivals at Suvarnabhumi *THIS YEAR* than you do, and the year just barely started. Certainly you'll take that bet for $10,000 US. That was you figure, was it not? You also ducked the criticism of your absurd spelling of Suvarnabhumi. I guess that also comes from your "experience". |

I included the first year I came to Thailand until the present. Your false claim was open-ended, and NOW you want to insert yet another escape stipulation? I offered several different scenarios and you snipped them all. You simply weaseled away from the false accusation you've repeatedly made. |

Out the door and the closest road is reserved for taxis and limos. We had to walk to the center divider to the second road so that my driver could meet us. So let me ask - When I arrived 2 years ago at Don Muang, I was able to ignore the taxi touts and proceed to the official taxi dispatch stand outside. From there it was only $5.00 US equivalent to Sukhumvit area. Is there an "official" taxi stand at the new airport - or not? Also can someone explain how to pronounce the name of the new ariport? Thanks |

You just say no to the usual touts, and head for that stand, or ask for "taxi meter", and you'll be directed to it. However, count on spending more than $5.00 for the fare. In early AM hours, the fare to Sukhumvit was 180 Baht, but there is a service fee at the airport of 50 Baht, plus two tolls, which you don't know what they are (the driver pays them). At the end the driver pretends to do some calculations in his head, and comes up with some arbitrary number, which in my case was 360 Baht ($12.00). I gave him 400 Baht, which was probably too much, but was very happy to be finally at my destination after 30+ hours of travel. Best, jrk Also can someone explain how to pronounce the name of the new ariport? Thanks |
