SRT Red Line
A covered walkway from the arrivals area leads to Don Mueang station on the SRT Dark Red Line. Trains run to Krung Thep Aphiwat Central Terminal (Bang Sue) in about 15–20 minutes for about THB 30–35, every 12–20 minutes from about 5:30 to midnight. At Krung Thep Aphiwat, walk to MRT Bang Sue station for the Blue Line to Chatuchak, Sukhumvit and Silom.

A1 runs to BTS Mo Chit and the Chatuchak bus terminal and A2 to Mo Chit and Victory Monument, both for THB 30. A3 goes to Pratunam and Lumphini Park, and A4 to Khao San Road and Sanam Luang, both for THB 50. Buses leave from outside arrivals about every 10–30 minutes, from early morning to around midnight.
Taxis and Grab
Public taxis charge the meter plus a THB 50 airport surcharge and expressway tolls; Sukhumvit or Siam usually cost about THB 300–450 and take 30–60 minutes. Grab and Bolt cost about THB 350–600. Taxi queues are on the arrivals level of both terminals.
Connecting to Suvarnabhumi
