✈️ Top 7 Airport Transfer Scams in Thailand — And How to Avoid Them

Worried about airport transfer scams in Thailand? Discover the top 7 scams at Bangkok airports (Suvarnabhumi & Don Mueang) and learn how to book safe, reliable transportation.

🛑 1. The "No Meter" Taxi Scam

At both Suvarnabhumi Airport and Don Mueang, some drivers refuse to use the meter and quote a flat rate that’s 2–3x higher than normal.
What to do:
Avoid unofficial taxis and book a private airport transfer in Bangkok with upfront pricing.

🧳 2. Fake “Official” Taxi Desks

Unlicensed agents may approach travelers in the arrivals hall, claiming they work for the airport.
Tip : Only use authorized airport transfer counters or pre-book a Bangkok chauffeur service from a verified company like GoThaiBooking.
