If you are going to take a taxi do you need to go all the way to Phaya Thai? Makkasan is nearer to the hotel

When I've taken the bus the driver has never cared about who is getting on. Many non-guests of the hotel just going to the shopping centre

The ticket for the airport train is a plastic disc and requires cash.
If you are American the easiest way to get cash may be to bring a $50 or $100 bill and go to one of the money changers next to the train station at the airport (Basement level). The rate is a lot worse at the shops elsewhere in the airport.
