At Glow now.

Taxi fare 650B including 50B highway toll from Suvarnabhumi. No jam leh.

Meter say 549B but driver say 600B because 50B is airport fee.

I remember reading the fare shouldn't exceed 400B leh.

Didn't manage to find the ASEAN counter. so chop passport at foreign passport counter. Quite fast. About 10min. Bought DTAC sim as shorter queue. On H+ network now.

Weather very very hot.

Most hotels always require a deposit. If nothing used during your stay, they won't charge it. Just to hold the deposit only.

Luckily I bought my sg Sim card. Just checked. The hotel didn't deduct anything from my credit card.

Don't need to feel so paranoid one. Its a standard process for most hotels overseas.

They took a pre authorization on your credit card which any hotel would do so. Unless you place cash as deposit

If my flight is at 925am, Suvarnahbumi Airport..is it okay for me to leave Glow hotel to take cab at 630am? Since check in counter opens 2 hrs prior (725am).

I left Berkeley Hotel @ 7am on weekend for my flight at around the same time. Once check in, proceed straight to immigration. Cuz long queue @ immigration.
