The arrival hall at the airport is on the second floor (2FL). After collecting your luggage, while walking down the corridor, you will find the stairs on the right to go down to the first floor (1FL) where public transport is located.
Taxi
Comfortable and fast.
The transfer from the airport to your accommodation will last approximately one hour; however, it depends on the traffic you find in the city.
Taxi works with taxi-meter, roughly 400 baht for the journey to downtown, adding an extra cost of 50 baht and another 50 for the tollway fee in case you take any highway, advisable when the traffic is busy.
Some options:
» Regular taxi and Large taxi (van). Get a ticket from the available machines that will indicate the corresponding taxi number and its registration. The large taxi is necessary for more than three people with luggage.
» Short distance journey (-10 km): Lat Krabang Rd, King Keaw Rd, Rom Klao Rd, Mega Bangna, Hua Takae, Suk Saman Junction, Hua Chiew University, Krungthep Kreetha Rd, Chaloem Phra Kiat Rd, Sri Nakharin Rd, Pattanakarn Rd and Bangna-Trad Rd. Go to the specific counter.
Airport Rail Link
Link 1, Link 2
Comfortable, cheap and fast as long as your accommodation is close to any of the stops on this line or the MRT subway that connects to the Makkasan station, or the BTS Skytrain with the interchange at the Phaya Thai station.
If you have to combine the journey with the taxi, for example, this implies losing effectiveness.
The airport link locates on the ground floor (BFL), so you have to go down two levels from the arrival hall.
