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.

Just returned on the shuttle from Hua Hin ... was a bit of a bumpy ride! High speed and lots of bumps in the road! We made it in less than 2.5hrs!

I didn't expect Mr. Fuller to bow down before me. I just thought a fellow area vice president asking a fellow GM would have someone be in touch. A week later, his secretary sent me a Grand guide for Bangkok.
It is a great property but that to me is bad service.

The property's website seems to have no photos of the suites. Do any FT'ers have photos from any recent stays?
We usually stay the StR and am trying to decide for a future stay.

Our Astor-type suite at the St.R was twice as big with floor to ceiling windows overlooking the polo club: https://www.flickr.com/photos/kalboz...7628777073793/

Sorry to drag the thread off topic but the Four Seasons has been reflagged? I still have memories before the hotel was built.
