🏆 Sento Golden Tip: Never go with a tout inside the terminal — Bangkok Airport has persistent unofficial taxi drivers who will overcharge heavily. Always use the official metered taxi counters on Level 1 (Suvarnabhumi) or pre-book your transfer. The Airport Rail Link is genuinely excellent for Sukhumvit-area hotels.
