When you land tired and disorientated at the new BKK airport, you go outside and the "Limo" taxis descend on you to charge you 900 baht into central Bangkok. We paid that the first time but after coming back from an internal flight we found that if you want a standard yellow and green taxi on a meter, you have to go left (I think) towards departures and down a floor to find them. You pay at a desk a 50 baht "booking fee" and then you are shown to a taxi where it will cost you a lot less i.e. it cost us another 250 baht (total 300 baht) to get to Petchburi Rd, not 900.

Maybe things will change when the skytrain opens but at the moment it's made a bit difficult for you to do it your own way. Having said that, it's still cheaper than that kind of distance in the UK!
