In-Depth Information
Relatively frequent minivans to Don Muang International Airport wait on floor 1, out-
side door 8 (50B, 40 minutes, from 5.30am to 5pm).
From town, you can take the BTS to On Nut, then from near the market entrance op-
posite Tesco Lotus take minivan 552 (25B, frequent from 5am to 10pm), or BTS to Vict-
ory Monument, then the minivan to Suvarnabhumi (40B, 30 minutes, every 30 minutes
from 5am to 9pm).
Taxi
As you exit the terminal, ignore the touts and all the signs pointing you to over-
priced 'official airport taxis'; instead, descend to floor 1 to join the generally fast-moving
queue for a public taxi. Cabs booked through these desks should always use their meter,
but they often try their luck so insist by saying, 'Meter, please'. Toll charges (paid by the
passengers) vary between 25B and 60B. Note also that there's an additional 50B sur-
charge added to all fares departing from the airport, payable directly to the driver.
