Airport Transportation

The following thread and its wiki provide all the information one needs to know about taking a taxi from Suvarnabhumi Airport: Catching a Taxi at BKK and general Thailand taxi discussion [SEE WIKI FIRST] The wiki discusses the breakdown of taxi fares from the airport to central Bangkok where Grand Hyatt Erawan is located, and addresses the possibility of being slightly overcharged by a taxi driver.

Alternatively, Grand Hyatt Erawan offers airport transfers in its own fleet of silver Mercedes-Benz S-Class and E-class sedans. The prices of these service are S-Class THB 3,300 (net) per one way transfer (per post 1976) and E-Class THB 2,500 (per post 1975) to or from Suvarnabhumi Airport. Guests using this service will be greeted by a representative at the airport, assisted with their luggage, and escorted to the waiting car.

For an additional charge, the hotel can also arrange "Fast Track" (VIP lane) immigration clearance, as well as the option of being met at one's arrival gate by a buggy and escorted through Fast Track immigration. This service is available for THB 1,600+ 7% vat per person, or THB 2,400+ 7% vat per person to include Golf Cart and porter services.

AOT (and perhaps other companies) also provide transfers from and to the airport. Various vehicle types are available at different price points: Camry (THB 1,200 one way), Mercedes E-Class (THB 2,400 one way).

I always use http://www.limousine.in.th for my car needs in BKK incl airport transfers. 1050 THB from BKK to the city, 900 THB city to BKK (incl tolls).

UBER no longer operates in Thailand. Instead, use GRAB. Similar to UBER, prices will vary. On my trip, I was able to get a GRAB for 364 THB from BKK.

Taxi should run between 400-500 THB. If going from the hotel to BKK, the hotel will quote 500 THB. I had to wait for a few taxi's as the first two didn't want to do unless I paid 750 THB.

The Grand Club at the GH BKK has now reopened and the hotel is on sale as low as 1,991 THB++.

They also sell bonus vouchers with a weird "non qualifying" wording attached.

And for people who need a stay with a multiple of 3 nights, Hyatt Privé with 3rd night free comes out to 1702 THB per night, and you get a 100 USD F&B credit on top. I have seen good prices at other hotels such as 2.0-2.5k THB (Marriott Marquis, JW Marriott for example), but this price at GH is among the best I have seen. Heck many limited service hotels are in that price range at the moment and without the F&B credit.

Actually at the Marriott Marquis you can stay 6 nights including 1000 Baht credit per night for 10,000 Baht even (Megatix Voucher 10k -> 17k).

Unfortunately 3rd night free with Hyatt means you wont get credit for the 3rd night eiher. I might have a look into that Prive for this weekend, thanks!

Perfect. Booked a 3 night stay for this whole weekend checking in today. Total 6,008 THB all in + $100 credit. This even beats the extremely low 1911++ as you mentioned!

Got the Premier Suite as well to round it all up.

Sounds like you booked the same deal as I did - perhaps it was another poster who quoted 1911++. Your price of 6008 THB all in is equivalent to 2003 THB per night after tax, 1702 THB before tax which is the rate I referred to in my previous post. A very solid deal especially if we get a suite upgrade not to mention triple points currently.

I would mention that I think this deal is valid until the end of March, and must be booked before end of this year.

Enjoy your weekend!

That's $198.00 per todays exchange rate - $100 to try their new Salvia and today's Thanksgiving dinner at the Dining Room. Perfect. $33 per night for a 120 sqm suite, I guess I've had worse deals.

Can you please let us know if you get 2 or 3 nights stay credit after checking out?
Certainly a great deal you have

Sure, I'm curious myself. I will book a few more of these extravaganzas either way.

I always get 2 night credit for these packages of "3rd night free" and even after challenging it with my Concierge it was re-confirmed as being what it's supposed to be according to the Hyatt rules

My Prive agent just informed me that the GH BKK has killed this rate (3rd night free). Too bad!
