UPDATE!! A taxi into central Bangkok is cheaper than you think, and more convenient than the bus. BUT BEWARE! as you come out of arrivals you'll be set upon by many taxi/ limosine touts that will charge you up to 5 times the standard rate. So here's what to do; firstly dont even entertain these taxi touts, keep walking and head to EXIT 4, once outside look right for a large desk, usually they have a TAXI sign up. They are the official airport taxis and charge much LESS etc, the taxis are either blue & red or green & yellow, or pink or orange. Give the full address of your accommodation, they will get you a taxi right away. Once they give you a slip of paper go to your taxi, you'll pay a surcharge of 50 Baht to the driver ontop of your fare. Make sure the driver puts on the METER, I have gotten to the sukhumvit, central Bangkok for as little as 300 baht, sometimes up to 400 baht including Tollway of 65 baht. If traffic is busy expect to pay a little extra.
