When you are travelling from Bangkok to other major cities in Thailand, or going home (Oh, please don’t go!), you will most often go via Suvananbhumi International Airport.

Getting There

The airport rail link is not yet completed, but is expected to be ready in 2009. It will provide a fast and easy way to get to the airport from the city center.

Your hotel can arrange a transfer but be sure to check the price in advance. This is often the most convenient way to get smoothly to Suvanabhumi.

The Airport Bus service may suit you if there’s a route close to your hotel. Click the Airport Bus link on the right under “Raod & Rail”.

Public taxis are reliable and safe. You can either flag one down, or ask your hotel to call one (there may be a small extra charge). Make sure that the meter is on and showing 35 baht. If it’s not, tap the driver on the shoulder, point to the meter, and say “meter”, he’ll understand. Your destination is Suvanabhumi airport, but what you need to say to the driver is “Soo-wanna-boom”. If you say “airport” you may end up at the wrong one!
