Same question -- with early morning departures is it difficult to find a taxi willing to use the meter?
From the airport, on the meter no problem. From the ROS back to the airport in February I found taxis consistently claiming they couldn't do this because of tolls and airport fees. So rather than ~350 Baht it was 500. I won't argue too vehemently for $5.
