The distance to the city centre is 30km from the airport so it’s always helpful to know how you’ll get there before taking your flights to Bangkok. The Airport Express service operates from level 1 near entrance 8 of the airport and will charge around 150 baht for a journey on one of its four routes. The taxi stands are on the same level, but be prepared to haggle the cost of a ride to the city and make sure to agree on the fee before you get in.
Don Mueang International Airport:
Located approximately 40 km from Suvarnabhumi Airport, Don Mueang is Bangkok’s other international airport, serving passengers from all over the world. It’s around 26km from the city centre and there is a rail service that runs between the airport and the city. It is notoriously slow and very unreliable so it’s advisable to take the bus. You can jump in a bus from the airport but traffic in Bangkok can be very bad, so expect a long bus ride.
