The 3 of us had to take 2 taxis to the Bangkok airport, and here’s why: The trunk of a taxi is half-filled by a propane tank. That leaves room for one big suitcase and one roller bag. Our inventory is 2 big suitcases, 4 roller bags, and a shoulder bag. Therefore, we needed 2 taxis to carry our luggage.

Theoretically, the propane should cut down on the smog. That sounds good.

But what if the taxi is rear-ended?

We arrived safely at the Bangkok airport and flew off to Yangon (formerly Rangoon).
