How to go from Bangkok Airport to City

Finally Departed to the place i've longed to visit, Bangkok!! The Suvarnabhumi(Soo-wanna-poom) International Airport looks so much like KLIA.

Anyways, when you arrives to Bangkok Airport, there are 2 ways of getting to the town.

1. Public Bus (150Baht/person)
2. Public Taxi (approx 300Baht)

Smart traveler like you should know how to do the calculation. If you go in a group, its much economic to take a Public Taxi. I took public taxi.

If you're taking a Taxi, DO NOT take the taxi from the airport counter, its much costly. Just walk out from the custom & look for this "Public Taxi" sign. Jump into the public taxi queue. There will be a girl at the counter, just tell her your destination & she will write it down in a piece of paper in Thai.


*PS* As not many Thai speaks/understand English, Its wise to bring a book with simple Thai vocabs translation.


It's around 30-40 minutes drive from airport to city (near chitlom area), depending on traffic condition.
If you take bus, its gonna take longer because there are stations to stop.
