Hardly worth the effort for any saving, especially with suitcase to lug at the chain of metro at station airport metro arrives to, plus hump cases at metro nearest hotel.
Airport Taxi
o 50 Baht airport taxi pickup fee (not applicable on trips to the airport though)
o 75 Baht for two expressway Tolls (50 + 25)
o 280-350 Baht metered fare (dependent on Sukhumvit traffic / if peak/busy time of day)
Total = 405baht - 475baht for 45minutes taxi trip right to hotel door (9-11gbp / us$11-14)
