Arriving at 2am! Transportation to city available?

My flight will arrive at the airport at 2 o'clock in the morning. I'm wondering if I could still get a taxi to the city and if the taxi driver will charge more than normal rate because of the timing.

In addition, will the currency exchange booth still be opened at this hour? Many thanks in advance for any advice!

Of course there will be taxi's available....this is a major international airport.

At that time of night, fly through with little traffic, I'd expect it to cost you no more than 350B including tolls and 50B airport surcharge, which you can avoid if you get a taxi from departures.

YES AND YES IS A 24 HOUR AIRPORT,AND VERY BUSY AT ALL HOURS
All taxi trips in thailand are cheap make sure you ask for meter taxi when getting,or make sure cost is known before getting into taxi

I can confirm both the taxi queue and the money exchange booths are open 24 hours a day at Swampy (BKK International).
