TLDR : Answer Summary
The metered taxi rank at Suvarnabhumi Airport is located on the ground level, clearly marked by signs. Travelers should look for the 'Public Taxi' signage. For those needing to connect to Don Muang Airport, there is a free shuttle bus service available from Suvarnabhumi, which can be accessed at exit gate 3 in the arrival area.

1 where it says public taxi. You have to choose a line either regular or bigger taxi. The machine prints a ticket that says in which parking spot your taxi is waiting. The ticket also shows the driver’s name. Take a photo of the ticket in case the driver takes it away from you and then trying to rip you off. Happened to me once when a metered driver turned off the meter after we started the ride. Yeah, it’s broken. Told him to let me out at the nearest location in thai and the meter magically fixed itself. If I was a normal tourist he would probably successfully scammed me with me having evidence of his identity. It only happened once and I only take taxi when i arrive after the railway closed. Most of them are honest and appreciative tips for good service

That's another option indeed. My problem then was, that if I got out at the nearest stop near my hotel, I had to take a tuktuk or taxi to my hotel. Walking with suitcase and trolly is not very nice in the heat after a 12 hours flight.

I always used a bit of a trick. I went up again to the departure level, went outside and walked against those big tourniquets. There Taxis deliver people and airport police is constantly order them to leave. So they want you take their taxi, otherwise they have to leave empty.

It’s hidden - follow the taxi signs and pass the first queue. The meter taxi is quite a walk away.

Wrong, they hide the metered taxis here in Phuket to try and get you to take the non-metered rip-off guys.
