Short-term parking for 5,000 cars is available at the front of the passenger terminal. Reasonably-priced long-term parking is available at the southern entrance.

By Bus

Bangkok Mass Transit Authority operates air-conditioned public buses to Suvarnabhumi from seven destinations: Bang Kapi, Happyland, Victory Monument, Khlong Toei, Samut Prakan, Srinakarin and Rangsit. The price is Bt35. For information, visit www.bmta.co.th. Long-distances buses to Pattaya, Nong Khai and Aranyaprathet have scheduled stops at the transport centre.

By ‘City Express’
The City Express is a new airport bus providing “point-to-point” transport between Suvarnabhumi and central Bangkok areas such as Silom, Sukhumvit and Khao San.

By taxi
Gone with the time-worn Don Muang will be unscrupulous cabbies (always keen to take male passengers to the nearest massage parlour!). More than 2,000 trained taxi drivers will ply the airport routes.
All taxi fares will be metered but there is an airport surcharge.
Arriving passengers must take the shuttle to the transport centre to catch a cab. Taxis drop off departures at the departure terminal on the fourth floor.

By rental car or limousine
From premium to standard sedans arriving passengers can hire a private limousine at the transportation centre. All the big rental agencies have a presence at the airport.

GETTING AROUND THE AIRPORT

Specially-designed airport shuttle buses provide transport for all including those in wheelchairs.

There are three different routes for passengers travelling between the public transport centre, long-term parking and the passenger terminal complex. The shuttle is free.
