i had 4 hrs between conecting flights so no need to rush in a taxi.
if you do take a taxi make sure he turns his meter on,around 200 baht.
I am a little wary of the price quoted by nifty. Late last year a taxi fare (metered) in relatively light traffic from Suv to DM was close to TBH400.

i take you word lads, i have not taken the taxi, my tilac told me take taxi be around 200 baht metered,so i took bus.

between airports the meter fare is 200 and 105 baht on expressway give our take 10 baht dont take the expressway and you will pay more for the ride but no tolls and then your journey will be very long at certain times of day
5 trips in last year and this year same price

The Air Asia flight departs at 4.15pm so by the time you have gotten your bags and passed through immigration you will not have that long to wait.
Time to chill out, stretch the legs, have a beer, watch the world go by.
Better doing that than panicking because your flights delayed, Bangkok traffic is screwed and your not going to make your connection IMHO.
BUT BE SURE TO BOOK IN ADVANCE!

Your advice was spot on, Roy.

I get into Suvannbhumi about 12.30pm and have booked my connecting flight with Air Asia at 4.15pm.
Total cost of the Air Asia return flight was 2,888 baht which is cheap as chips.

All paid for and thanks again for your advice.
