3) The fare to bangkok should not be more than 250THB + 50 airport fee + 70 Tolls.

4) If you're comfortbale with it you don't need to take the tollway at midnight... your choice.

5) I'm sure I forgot a few things ....
Thanks! This is your/others recent experience? Are things self evident? Just really trying to make the incoming smooth and am willing to pay higher price the one time for a hotel-arranged pickup if necessary. While i'm at it.....i won't have any baht and am assuming i can get cash at ATM before leaving terminal - any issues with that? maybe ATM ok but I guess i still might have to find someone willing to make change of whatever large bills ATM gives me...........
