International and Domestic flights are now from Suvarnabhumi
airport, Bangkoks new airport. Unlike the old airport there is no rail
link to getting into Bangkok which means a bus or taxi. A taxi into central
Bangkok will cost about 300 baht + the freeway tolls (50 baht) so if
two or more of you are sharing its probably the best option. For those
wanting to save a few baht, or if your going further afield, the airport buses run into several handy
locations where you can also use the BTS (skytrain) to get around.

Public Bus Service to Bangkok from Suvarnabhumi Airport

Bus Number 549 - Minburi
Bus Number 550 - Happy Land
Bus Number 551 -
Victory Monument (Expressway)
Bus Number 552 - Bang Na (On Nut BTS
station)
Bus Number 553 - Samut Prakan Bus Number 554 -
Don Muang
Airport (Expressway)
Public Bus Service to other provinces
Bus Number 389 - Pattaya
Bus Number 390 - Talad Rong Kluea
Bus Number 825 - NongKha

When
arriving in Bangkok, you will need to put an adress on your immigration
card, so its wise to pre-book hotel or guest house for at least the
first night or two. You can get much better rates by booking on-line

They left and arrived within 10 minutes of each other. Mine was less because it was a flight to Taipei , Bangkok was the stopover. So I would be on my own! Left them in the departure lounge looking for batteries for Rosie’s Operation and made my way to the gate… Thailand 2007

…tourist information booth to get a map and also a travel agent to ask about flights down to the islands for when Laura & Jonathan arrived. We went into a massive new shopping centre in Siam Square and used the internet and again looked at flight prices. We caught a taxi to the airport about 3.30pm and waited for an hour or so before Laura & Jonathan came through… Bangkok, Phuket, Phi Phi, Koh Samui, Koh Pangnan & Siem Reap, Phnom Penh, Sihanoukville

I arrived in Bangkok to see that hyper-inflation had set in since my last visit three weeks ago, as all of the taxi drivers were charging way too much. I opted for the airport bus, and arrived in Koa Sarn Road about a fortnight later… Thailand and beyond...
