If you ever visit this Trader Vics don't do what I did....
having been shopping at the largest shopping centre indowntown bangkok we thought we would go to Vics for a couple of drinks before heading to the Airport to fly home. So i asked a Tuk Tuk driver how much it would be as it was rush hour and a Taxi would be a nightmare, he told me 400 Baht!
I was like no way, you never pay more than 70- 80 baht to go anywhere, but he insisted as it was a long way.
Well I bargained him down and eventually settled at around 200 although he wasn't happy about.
To cut a long story short it was a long way out involing a death defiying ride on the rush hour freeways stuck on the back of a 3 seater lambretta.
Vics is nice but take a real Taxi if you decide to go.
Oh by the way I tipped him an extra 100 because i felt so bad.

MBK to Vics to the airport, thats keen. Tuk Tuk didn't take you to his tailor first?

If you take a Tuk Tuk during Songkran, you will have buckets of water thrown over you at the first corner you stop at - make for a great flight home!
