From airport To city center

The ground transportation services to city center are available as below:

Taxis

Taxis will stop at taxi pick-up points on the arrivals level. Follow the "public taxi" signs that lead to the outside of the airport premises, queue up and state your destination at the desk, and you'll get a slip with your destination written in Thai on it. There is a 50-baht surcharge on the meter, meaning that trips to the city will cost 250-400 baht (plus 2 expressway toll of 45 & 20 Baht) and take 40-60 minutes depending on traffic and location. If there is a huge taxi queue, consider taking a free shuttle bus to the Public Transport Centre, which has more taxis. Go straight to the official "Taxi Stand" and wait there.

Beware of taxi drivers who claim that the 50 baht surcharge is applied to each passenger as opposed to per taxi. Also beware of taxi drivers who try to charge you 50 baht surcharge going back to the airport. There should only be a 50 baht surcharge for exiting the airport.

Limousine Taxis

Limousine taxis (which charge by distance, e.g. around 800 baht to central Sukhumvit ) can be reserved at the limousine hire counter on the 2nd floor (just outside Arrivals), and aggressive touts will try to entice you on board. If you allow yourself to be waylaid by one of the taxi touts they might quote you more than double the fare that an ordinary metered taxi would charge (900 baht instead of 400, for example). You'd be silly even acknowledging their existence - walk straight past them.

Airport Express buses

The Airport Express buses run to many parts of the city. Please approach the Airport Express Counter on the 1st floor door no.8 to register. Service hour starts from 7AM to midnight everyday. There are 5 routes, each taking about 60 to 90 minutes depends on traffic and distance. The fare is 150 Baht per person.        

Route:	AE1 Airport - Silom
	AE2 Airport - Banglumphu
	AE3 Airport - Wireless Road
	AE4 Airport - Sukhumvit Soi 3
	AE5 Airport - Hualampong

                              
Train

The Airport Rail Link station is located under the airport terminal. Now it is in the system preparation and will open the services in July 2010. The first train will arrive at around 05:30 and the last leaves at midnight.
A single fare to the city costs about 400 Baht and takes approximately 30 minutes. Tickets will be available at the station.

Local Bus

The 10 routes of local bus services go to the various parts of the city. They are all brand new air-condition buses. Half of them organize 24 hours service. A fare depends on distance but not more than 40 Baht. Bus stops are located under the airport terminal. All routes are as below:

Route	No.549 Airport -Minburi
	No.550 Airport - MRT (Ladprao station)
	No.551 Airport - Victory Monument (24 hours service)
	No.552 Airport - klong Toei (04.30 - 21.30)
	No. 552A Airport -Pak Nam (24 hours service)
	No.553 Airport - Samutprakarn (05.00 - 22.50)
	No.554 Airport - Rangsit on the outer ring road (24 hours service)
	N0.555 Airport - Rangsit on the express way (24 hours service)
	No.558 Airport - Samae Dam (04.30 -21.30)
	No.Rangsit - Airport (04.30 - 21.30)

 

Private Minivan

There are also privately-owned minivans that are control by Bangkok Mass Transit Authority (BMTA) drive to many parts of Bangkok, such as Don Muang Airport, Bang Kapi, Rangsit, Samut Prakarn, etc. They charge in flat rate 50 baht.

To take a private minivan, you must first take a free shuttle bus ride (from the outside 2nd floor) to the separate terminal (Public Transport Center). The minivans go directly to the destination, so they are faster than the local buses, which stop frequently along the way. Anyway the luggage space is quite limited.
