Hi, I just got a taxi yesterday to the airport. was 300 baht but I also had to pay the toll which was 60 baht as we took the expressway which is faster. I was quoted 800 baht when I asked how much but 300-400 is the going rate. Safe travels.

If you go out downstairs from the arrivals terminal there are an "official" taxi desks from where you can get a taxi, which will use the meter - no questions asked. You are still required to pay tolls, plus a 50B surcharge.
If you'd prefer to negotiate directly with a driver and do it off-meter, then 300B is ok I guess, but on-meter, even including the 50B surcharge, will be almost always cheaper.

But , depending on the day of the week , landing at 2pm , then waiting for your bags (50 mins. last time) and getting through immigration (40mins. last time) , will land you right in the middle of rush hour .
An hour ? , doubtful .
