- A1 to West End (Thanon Silom)
- A2 to Khao San Road.
- A3 goes to Sukhumvit area.
As you clear customs, look for the Airport Bus signs, buy the ticket (100B) at the stall and get on the (mini)bus. It will take 60-90 minutes, depending on traffic jams. Leave a Comment

Aircon buses from or to the airport are an okay way to go if your destination is on a main hotel / tourist drag, if you are not in a rush and if you do not have too many bags (more than two that is, one in a hand, one on a shoulder).
The buses usually wait near the meter taxi ranks at both international and the domestic terminals. If one is not there ask a local and they will try and help you if they speak your language. Really, they are very helpful.
Running times are 04.30 to 00.30, at approximately 15 to 30 minute intervals.
AB-1: Airport-Silom Road
From airport, Don Muang Tollway exit Din Daeng Road, pass Century Park Hotel, Pratunam, Ratchadamri Road, Grand Hyatt Erawan Hotel, Lumphini Park, Silom Road, Holiday Inn Crowne Plaza, Charoen Krung Road, and stop at Silom Road, opposite Lerdsin Hospital.
AB-2: Airport-Sanam Luang
From airport, Don Muang Tollway exit Din Daeng Road, pass Ratchawithi Road, Victory Monument, Phyathai Road, Phetchaburi Road, Lan Luang Road, Princess Hotel, Tanao Road, Phra Sumen Road, Chakraphong Road, Bang Lamphu (Khao San Road), around Democracy Monument, Royal Hotel and stop at Sanam Luang.
AB-3 Airport-Thonglor
From airport, Don Muang Tollway, Din Daeng Expressway, exit Sukhumvit Road, pass Nana, Ambassador Hotel, Grand Pacific Hotel, Asoke intersection, Eastern Region Bus Terminal (Ekamai), New Phetchaburi Road, Thonglor Road and stop at Thonglor Police Station. (been in here a few times I can tell you – lovely chaps the lot of them)
AB-4 : Airport-Hua Lamphong
From airport, take Don Muang Tollway, Din Daeng expressway, exit Ploenchit Road, pass Siam Centre, Siam Square, Phyathai Road, Mah Boon Krong, Rama IV Road, Mandarin Hotel, Bangkok Centre Hotel, Wong Wian 22 Circle, and stop at Bangkok Hua Lamphong Railway Station.
Regular Buses (regular bone shaking rattling buckets of rusty iron more like) are 29, 59, 95. To say non air con buses can be uncomfortable and crowded is an understatement. Leave a Comment Theme: Bus

If you travel on tight budget like I did, the public bus option I believe is the cheapest among the other means of transportation between the new airport and Bangkok downtown. It only costs 34baht from Suvanabhumi Airport to downtown Bangkok. It's so cheap!
From airport terminal, you have to take Airport Shuttle Bus (Bus No.: Ordinary 1, Ordinary 2, Express 1 & Express 2) to the Public Transportation Center. FREE service.
From Public Transportation Center, you will be able to choose from the following buses that bring to downtown Bangkok:
1. Route 549 Suvarnabhumi-Minburi
2. Route 550 Suvarnabhumi-Happy Land
3. Route 551 Suvarnbhumi-Siam Paragon
4. Route 552 Suvarnabhumi-Klong Toei
5. Route 553 Suvarnabhumi-Samut Prakarn
6. Route 554 Suvarnabhumi - Bangkok International Airport/Don Muang
7. Route 555 Suvarnabhumi - Rangsit
8. Route 556 Suvarnbhumi - Southern Bus Terminal
9. Route 557 Suvarnabhumi - Wongwien Yai
10. Route 558 Suvarnabhumi - Central Rama 2
11. Route 559 Suvarnabhumi - Future Park Rangsit
I took the bus Route 551 to Victory Monument and then took a taxi to my hotel. Or you can go all the way to Siam Paragon and take the Skytrain to where ever you want to go.
For more details on the routes, please visit the official website of AOT:

If you goto Skytrain BTS On Nut, stand at the bus stop 552 on the opposite side of the street of the Tesco Lotus store. It usually picks me up around 40 minutes past the hour. It's a small white mini-van, not really a bus. It will only hold about 8 people max without luggage. It's popular with locals, I didn't see a single (American or European) tourist the two times I used it. It only cost 25 baht as of two days ago. Add to the cost to get to On Nut which can't be more than 40 baht and you're looking at $1.91 US, very reasonable. Total time takes approximately 1 1/2 hours. I got on the BTS at Nana around 2:20, arrived at On Nut around 2:35 and waited for about 5 minutes. From there it takes about an hour for the mini-van to get to the airport depending on how many stops it makes. Arrived at the airport maybe 3:30 or 3:40pm. I had plenty of time for my 5:40pm flight.
You have to really watch for the mini-van as it comes along. It has a small white sign in the lower right part of the window that says 552 Suvarnabhumi Airport or something like that. If you don't flag him down he could drive right past you. Leave a Comment Theme: Bus

 Bus ticket -- airport to
Sukumvit by Ewingjr98
Take a taxi for only 250 to 300 Baht ($7.50) and avoid all the trouble! This is especially true if you are traveling with other tourists as you can split the fare. Leave a Comment Theme: Bus

Getting from the Airport to the hotel was easy,walk out of the arrival terminal and look for a red coloured bus A2 to Sanam Luang(Khaosan Rd), buy your ticket for 100bt from the kiosk (4by 6 hut) outside and hop on the bus.When you get to Khaosan you will notice all the remaining passengers get off.The bus stops there in front of Sawasdee hotel/resturant.
There is a police station on the same side just past Khaosan Rd where you can get the info on bus routes fares and a map for 5bt.Public transport is hassle free and the conductors are very helpful just ask him to remind you of your stop and he will let you know when it is time for you to get off at your stop.
I will have more as I build my pages>>> Leave a Comment Theme: Bus

The cheapest way to get from the Airport to many of the hotels is to get the bus from just outside the departure lounge. As I usually stay around the Lower Sukhumvit area I get bus AB-3 which is air-conditioned and travels along the expressway and then onto Sukhumvit, so I get off at one of the first stops it makes - almost as quick as the taxi and a lot cheaper at only 100baht.
However the buses can get very crowded, especially route 2 which goes to Khao San Road, and the every 15 minute timetable is also a bit variable. Leave a Comment Theme: Bus

There are 3 different lines that operate between airport and Bangkok city. Ticket cost 100 Baht/ person. Bus stop is just outside the International Terminal and the girls at the counter/ in the bus are very helpful if you are not exactly sure what line you need or where to get off…
Good alternative to taxi if you have time and are not sure what would be a fair fare to pay. Leave a Comment Theme: Bus
