Hi again, my trip to Los is with my wife for a birthday pressie, i would like to know how much the limos are from the airport as an added extra (i know they are a bit of a rip off) but it would be a nice start to the holiday. We are staying at the Mahatten hotel, so for a few quid more it would be nice. If it is dodgy i will get the taxi, but then again wtf, were booked in the hotel so they cant take me for a ride lol . We originally booked 2 wks in Bangkok, but have just booked 4 days in Pattaya at the Sawadee hotel (in the middle of the action, so i hope it is a good hotel, let me know)

Thai Air has a limo service with Mercedes 180 & 220's.

Prices start from about 1000 baht

Book at their counter in the Arrivals hall.

A couple of years ago, I was staying at the Montien Riverside and we had booked a tour though the hotel. The next morning I was expecting a mini bus to pick us up, but this Merc about a block long turns up!!!!
Have no idea of the cost, as it was included in the tour price, but just to let you know that they are available somewhere!!!!

We are staying at The Landmark next month and have a Mercedes from the hotel pick us up at the Airport.
The total cost is Bath 4200 for Airport to hotel & hotel to Airport for the 3 of us & payment is to the hotel on check out.

Hi Couperman

I assume you have not been to BKK before. 2 weeks is a long time there IMO with the wife. If I was you I would travel around a bit more than just going to Patts for 4 days. I was in bkk recently with the wife and we saw most of the sites in 2/3 days.

We have a few days in Bangkok and then move down to Pattaya for 4 days, then finish off in Bangkok, we are a quite open couple anyway, we will enjoy the entertainment, but no we are 1st timers.
