Thai Rent have the nearest depot to the airport. In fact, you will probably pass it on your way into the airport. It is a large building, right next to the up ramp, as you come off Motorway 9. Stay on the left, and double back on yourself.
Getting to Bangkok
As you emerge from the arrivals hall, smart looking staff will encourage you to get a limo. These are more expensive than getting a taxi. If want the cheaper public taxi, gone down a floor, and head out of the arrivals hall. Look for the girls behind a desk, and get your ticket if there is a queue.
The taxis are queued up behind her, with the taxi drivers in line. State your destination and the girls will write it on a slip. You then go to taxi driver queue, where the slip is given to the driver. Say to the driver, expressway or tollway. You pay this as well as the 50 baht surcharge. Bear in mind the taxi driver may have queued a long time to get a fare, so don't resent the 50 baht, as you have to pay it. Also give a tip of say, 10, 15 or 20%, or as they say in Thailand, 'Up to you'.
The mono-rail train is also open and takes you into Bangkok, but you will probably still need get a train, or taxi, to your hotel. The bus service is the cheapest way of getting into Bangkok, with the limo service the most expensive.
If heading to Pattaya, a taxi will cost about THB1,500. There is the cheaper mini bus service. Look for the desk in the arrivals hall.
