BUS & MINIVAN
»
A public transport centre is 3km from the airport and includes a bus terminal with buses to a handful of provinces
and inner-city-bound buses and minivans. A free airport shuttle connects the transport centre with the passenger termin-
als.
»
Bus lines city-bound tourists are likely to use include line 551 to BTS Victory Monument station (40B, frequent
from 5am to 10pm) and 552 to BTS On Nut in the Sukhumvit area (25B, frequent from 5am to 10pm). From these
points, you can continue by public transport or taxi to your hotel.

From town, you can take the BTS to On Nut, then from near the market entrance opposite Tesco Lotus, take
minivan 552 (25B, frequent from 5am to 10pm), or BTS to Victory Monument, then the minivan to Suvarnabhumi Inter-
national Airport (40B, every 30 minutes from 5am to 9pm).

(30B, hourly, from 9am to midnight); A2 makes stops at BTS Mo Chit and BTS Victory Monument (30B, hourly, from

Public buses stop on the highway in front of the airport. Useful lines include 29, with a stop at Victory Monument

hours); and line 538, stopping at Victory Monument BTS station (4am to 10pm); fares are approximately 30B.
TAXI
As at Suvarnabhumi, public taxis leave from outside the arrivals hall and there is a 50B airport charge added to the
meter fare.
TRAIN
The walkway that crosses from the airport to the Amari Airport Hotel also provides access to Don Muang Train Station,
which has trains to Hualamphong Train Station every one to 1½ hours from 4am to 11.30am and then roughly every
hour from 2pm to 9.30pm (from 5B to 10B).
Bus
Buses using government bus stations are far more reliable and less prone to incidents of theft than those departing from
Th Khao San or other tourist centres.
