Instructions for Taxi driver.
Please download and print out this pdf file below. It contains information in Thai for the taxi driver to get to the Camillian Pastoral Center. At the airport, look for a counter (usually just outside the building) where you can take a public taxi. (Counters inside the main building may be "Limousine" or other private services.) At the counter, show the person the map and ask for a taxi-driver that knows or is willing to take you to the Center. The map also contains the Center's telephone number the taxi driver can call for further directions in Thai how to get to the center. Inside the taxi, there should be a meter. Make sure you have enough local currency for the taxi trip. Best to have some small change too.
