From Airport to chinatown about 500 baht if you take the toll road, according to my Thai sister in law my wife is on the phone with right now.

Anywhere from 600-1200 baht or more for a sedan. It is a con in the sense that they get you to use their service. From Suvarnabhumi Airport to CBD or central business district in Bangkok by taxi should cost between 200-350 baht at most including 50 baht airport fee and tolls. It can cost up to 500 baht if there is a traffic jam. When you use those "taxi agents" you get a nice sedan usually, Toyota Camry, Volvo or maybe even a Mercedes Benz or BMW. They are just hustling for an unknowing tourist. I used to take them till I realized most taxis are very clean and not a big problem.

It's a con. Never ever use an agent. Even the desks in the airport are a ripoff. You usually won't get anything less than 1,000 baht -sometimes a lot more. Follow the signs to the ground floor 'Public Taxi' rank. Whatever the taxi meter fare is, you will pay an airport surcharge of 50 baht. The taxi fare to most places in central Bangkok is between 200-300 baht. Then the taxi driver should ask if you want to pay to use the tollway. "Tang Doowang'. If it is 2 O'clock in the morning say 'no' - use the normal road. Any other time you will say yes and pay road tolls of between 25 - 90 baht depending on your route.
