When you arrive at the BKK airport hit up an ATM and get some Baht. When you exit customs to the main hall just head to the Taxi line. This is the official taxi line where a lady at a podium will give you a receipt ticket and write down the destination in Thai for the taxi driver. There is a phone number on the receipt in case of any problems and you will see little cameras will take pictures of you and the driver while you are in line. Just make sure that the taxi driver turns on his meter soon after you take off.
Their is the option of taking the skytrain but it is not worth it. On Nut bts is not near the skytrain stop that connects with the airport. Skytrain airport connection does not connect with the on nut bts stop.
You will be charged the taxi meter PLUS 50 baht airport service fee. To onnut BTS it should cost around 200-300 (depending on traffic) for the meter plus the 50 baht fee.
If you are serious about saving money Chiang Mai is considerably cheaper than BKK. If money runs low just head to Chiang Mai where it is much easier to live on $1,000 a month compared with BKK.
Look forward to hearing about your adventures!
