Is level 1 if not wrong. airport train is at b1.
level 4 is departure, and level 2 is arrival.
airport to rajpraprop station is 45b to pratunam ...
you alight at the station, need to walk 10 min to pratunam
citin is deep inside the small alley, so cab wont be able to go in ..

If you take cab to pratunam from airport is 400-500b per cab ...
can take 35 to one hour if jam is super bad ...

Not sure how this will affect the tourist.

Taxi and underground price rises in the pipeline

The fares on Bangkok's underground system will be frozen until the end of the year while a hike in taxi fares is expected in November, pending an energy price restructure.

DMK airport, confirm is by meter one.

You tell the taxi counter, they will write the destination on a piece of paper and pass to the driver.

Very efficient de, no need scare.

Eastin grand sathorn

Eastin grand sathorn
s sukhumvit

yup, eastin is near surask station. opposite is mode sathorn.
stayed before mode sathorn executive room with breakfsat, very nice and atas ! take bts to siam is about 4-5 stations...

S sukhuvmit is near terminal 21, is a 3star hotel, but their prices is 75+ onwards, which is beyond my budget. hardly go terminal 21 coz things too expensive, so wont stay s sukhuvmit.

I don't know if you guys noticed this. Taxi drivers in Bangkok don't carry much cash with them. Most of the time if you give them big notes like 1000 baht, they don't have enough cash for the change.
