i know this bit shoud be on the bangkok page but we arrive in bangkok on 16th dec and are stopping at the landmark hotel. they have quoted me 2200bht to be collected or 4200bht round trip. this seems expensive (66quid) but im not sure how far it is from the airport or the going price for taxis.

can anyone give me some idea of the costs please and if it would be cheaper to get a taxi ourselves or get there some other way

thanks very much

This is what another BM paid from BKK Airport to Landmark Hotel
You are being ripped off big time.

As said, 700baht is a good price to Karon from Phuket Airport. Its 550 to Patong,and a tuktuk will charge you 200 baht more to take you to Karon, so you quote is good.
