While it may seem to be a ripoff compared to the previous rate, is it really a ripoff? Could you see yourself travelling the same distance in your country (I assume United States based on your profile) on a bus for the same cost?
I don't care about the few $ I get ripped off in certain countries. To be honest, cabbies in BKK have ripped me off more than $1.50 on a trip.
If you're that worried about it, just catch a cab. They really aren't that expensive and from the airport are relatively honest (heading back may be a totally different story!
