Common Scams to Avoid
Unlicensed drivers at the curb will quote a flat fare several times the meter rate for the short ride into town. Insist on the official taxi queue and confirm the driver uses the meter before you get in.
Tuk-tuk and songthaew drivers near the terminal exit sometimes claim the airport shuttle bus has stopped running or demand a surcharge for the 'last' seat; walk to the clearly marked shuttle stop and buy your ticket at the kiosk instead of from the driver.
Baggage porters inside the arrivals hall may grab bags without being asked and then demand a high fee. Keep hold of your own luggage or clearly agree on a small tip before they assist.
