South East Asian Travel

What's one of the worst things about traveling? For me, it's knowing that I'm being swindled out of money just because I'm not familiar enough with the place to know better. One place that I'm constantly reminded of this is at Don Muang airport. After going through customs and on your way to go outside, there's usually a large group of people waiting trying to pick up people for taxis. Don't use those people - they charge very high prices. If you take my advice, you might then pass them up and go outside only to be greeted by a requirement to buy a ticket to wait in line for taxis. Don't do this either; there's no reason to buy a ticket, they're just taking your money. What's the best thing to do then? Upon clearing customs and seeing the large crowd waiting for people you should see escalators which go up to the departure area. Go there and walk out the departure area doors and you'll be greeted with taxis dropping other people off and no requirement to give your money to swindlers. Remember, though, always use the meter.
