Never take any taxi without meter in the airport. I went to Bangkok last week and was approached by a dark thai girl in uniform asking if I would like a taxi. I answered I would like to go to Nonthaburi and she said the standard price is 1200baht because the place is very far away. Since I don't know the place I thought what she said was true. I paid the money and was brought to a Jeep with a driver who don't know how to go to the address that I want. I was taken on an adventure ride in Nonthaburi for three hours til 3am in the morning. When we finally got there, the driver demanded another 1000baht for the extra hours taken, for the reason he don't know how to go to the place!
The next day I took meter taxi from Nonthaburi back to the airport, the whole trip only costs about 250baht including toll!
Beware of girls in uniform outside the airport asking you to take their taxi. These girls in uniform are not officials from the airport. Never get on a taxi without meter in Thailand.
