(iwtf @ Sep. 14 2009,07:52) MR T CAR SERVICE, can you book this online in advance , let me know, thanks

Yes, you can arrange for Mr T to pick you up at the airport.  If u tell him what flight number and arrival time, the driverwill have a sign with your name on it at the airport.

1000 baht from the airport to Pattaya which includes tolls.  Add on another 100 baht as a tip so it turns out to be 1100.

UPDATE: the public taxi stand has now moved back down to level 1 (1 floor down from arrivals hall). I got in 10:30 pm on Saturday night. They have reorganized things to improve efficiency. There are now 4 counters to process the queue, and open the amount of counters according to peak arrival times. When I got there there were about 20 in the queue and 2 counters opened. I only had to wait around 5 minutes and got my taxi. Much better than the past! The taxi driver made no attempts to ask for a flat fee, simply switched the meter on as we left. The slip clearly states in Thai and English the fee will be the meter rate, plus 50 Baht airport surchage, and toll fees if you chose that route. The total cost was 320 Baht, and I gave a 50 Baht tip as he didn't drive like a maniac and still got to my hotel on Sukhumvit soi 11 in about 20 minutes. If the driver does try to ask for a fixed fee there is a number on the slip to report him - note the taxi number if this happens so they can take action.

Also no signs of taxi touts as the airport seems to be much serious about cleaning things up this time!
