New taxi rules at Bangkok International Airport


Interesting piece of news for those taking their taxis from departure level once arriving at Suvarnabhumi Airport:

In order to provide better services and promote smother traffic flow, Suvarnabhumi Airport has rearranged its taxi parking procedures for the fourth-floor departure hall.

Taxis can only drop passengers off at the outer ring opposite Gates 1 and 8 and they have to immediately drive off to allow access to others. However, they can pick up passengers at the taxi stand opposite Gate 10, but if there are no passengers waiting, they cannot park.

For those who do not comply, their wheels will be locked and they will be reported to the traffic police.


So, let's see if this new rule is really being enforced this time. Looks like fresh breeze is finally blowing taxi drivers way, or is it?
