For the truly nitpicky, I took the Uber from Door 2, I wonder if walking down to Door 5 would result in getting a car faster, the app seemed to show the car starting from that end, like they were also parking waiting but probably pushed along by police, etc. - ended up waiting for the driver to loop back around to Door 2.
Cheers!

That's overpriced compared to a taxi which would be in the range of 250-280 between Silom and BKK airport for a non peak period, but perhaps it includes toll charges? Even then, the toll shouldn't be more than an extra 55 baht max. With Uber you do get a private car.....
