I use http://www.budget.co.th They seem pretty fair.

Excellent post. Thailand can be a very unsafe place to travel. It's a 3rd world country with horrific corruption problems and a lot of very poor people looking for money from unwary falang.

The arrival area of the Airport is controlled by the Mafia (who work with the police, they are the same thing) Now you could start off your holiday by potentially annoying the local mafia and police by trying to dodge any surcharges and trying to get a taxi (illegally) from the departure area, but i wouldnt recommend it. Guys, if you really need to go through all this crap to save 150 bhat MAXIMUM, i strongly recommend staying at home until you can afford to come and enjoy yourself without worrying about 3 quid... You post excellent pics, really i mean that, and superb reports from the perspective of someone on an extended holiday. However, be careful with your advice, you dont live here, you dont understand how things "work" Savvy traveler......? Cheers
