Asia - BKK Airport Airside Pick-Up Limo Transfer

I have a business colleague who booked a room at the Metropolitan Hotel on Sathorn Road.

He booked a hotel limousine transfer from the airport to the Hotel.

When he left the aircraft, he walked down the pier to the main terminal walk-way that leads to immigration. At that juncture (which is still very much airside and before immigration/baggage claim/customs), there was a man standing there from the hotel with a sign with his name on it. The representative took him to the Thailand Elite line (he is not a member of that US$25,000 club), took his passport, and sent him down to baggage claim.

The representative caught up with him in baggage claim 3 minutes later, handed the passport back, and helped him transfer his luggage to an S Class Mercedes that was waiting outside.

He landed at 10 PM and was at the Hotel by 10:30 PM.

Not even The Oriental (or the Peninsula) offers an airside pick-up like this.

I don't want to stay at the Metropolitan, but I would like to get this kind of service. Does anyone know of a private limo service in Bangkok that is able to offer this kind of service?

I have seen people with signs several times airside, and never knew what they were for. I would guess that other companies or hotels offer this service. Sorry, I don't know of one in particular, but you might try contacting a Bangkok travel agent. I use Ms. Nar at Royal Exclusive Travel. I think that their address is Royalexclusive.com.

The Louis Tavern CIP Lounge/Dayrooms people used to run a service to meet you at the arrival gate and take you through immigration (this was before the Thailand Elite line came into being). I can't find any website with the information, though. You might want to check with them next time you're in BKK.
