You can take a taxi from the terminus to your final destination. Money can be exchanged at the Bank of Taiwan counter located in the middle of the Arrival Area. In addition to the bus, Airport Taxis also run from the airport into Taipei City and surrounding areas. The advantage is that a taxi will take you directly to your hotel. The same ticket booth at CKS International Airport also sells tickets for the bus to Taichung.
Buses leave every hour or so.
If you are planning to study at the TLI center in Kaohsiung it is recommended that you fly directly to Kaohsiung International Airport in order to avoid the five hour bus ride from CKS International Airport. The mild winter season lasts from December until February. In the North, where Taipei is located, winters can be chilly and cloudy. Typhoons occur between June and October. If you bring a small appliance from anywhere outside of Northeast Asia, it is likely you'll need a plug adapter and a transformer.
