Is this reasonable? How much would a taxi from the airport cost?

If you want to walk with your luggage outside the hotel and negotiate with a thai driver, than you certainly can safe 500 THB. However, after staying in a wonderful suite for no money I do not want to nickel and dime on the an amount worth a beer in a pub at home.
