The first was from the airport to downtown Bangkok. We went to the taxi counter outside and told the young lady which hotel we were going to. She pulled over a taxi driver and informed him of our destination. When we got into the taxi he implied if we wanted fixed price or meter. We told him "meter please" so he turned it on. We asked him to take the expressway and we paid the tolls as we came to them. On our arrival at the hotel he added the airport surcharge of 50 bahts to the meter price and we paid him.
