Taxi from the Airport to KX
Bangkok has two international airports, Suvarnabhumi International Airport (BKK) to the west of the city which handles most of the international flights, and Don Mueang International Airport (DMK) to the north of the city which handles low-cost carriers.
Here is some informal information about taking a taxi from Suvarnabhumi International Airport (BKK): “A public (metered) taxi will cost about 500 Baht, including toll costs to come to the main KMUTT campus or near the venue KX Building. Note that there is a 50 Baht surcharge for taking a taxi from the airport and the passenger needs to pay all tolls. Actually, it’s a good way to break a large bill by paying toll with it and getting change. After arriving at the airport make your way to the first floor (one floor down after exiting the luggage area) and use the automated machines to obtain a queue ticket for the taxi. There is a surcharge for a larger taxi that can hold more luggage; follow the appropriate sign for the correct queue.”
From Don Mueang International Airport (DMK) the fare to get to your hotel or to KX/KMUTT is lower, and should be in the vicinity of 300 Baht. For more information refer to this guide on Don Mueang Airport Transportation.
