BANGKOK — The first new shuttle hit the road between Suvarnabhumi Airport and the backpacker mecca of Khaosan Road on Thursday, to the rejoicing of many.

The new S1 bus route launched shortly after the Bangkok Mass Transit Authority, or BMTA, added two new money-saving routes from Don Mueang (DMK) Airport for those who can’t afford – or just don’t want to – take an airport cab.

That makes for six shuttles and other services serving travelers.

So to celebrate more transportation choices (and relieve some confusion), here’s a breakdown of the services now available for reaching Bangkok’s two airports, from air-conditioned public shuttles and express “limo” buses to inter-airport transfers.

 

Air-Conditioned Public Shuttles

There are now five routes between various points in town and the two airports. Run by BMTA, the routes operate on orange, 35-seat buses. They will look familiar to residents as the same buses are used along other routes. The biggest pro is the very affordable price, while the many stops made along the way may be a deal-breaker for impatient travelers.

Here are all five routes, with the routes shown on interactive maps thanks to Bangkok City Bus Guide.

Just not worth the wait and crowds for the sake of less than ten bucks using a taxi.

[Goldpanner 399]

To be honest I found the train from Swampy to be pretty good.

For some folk, yes you're spot on.

 

I know myself when I was transiting often (10-12 times/year) between the two airports I actually preferred the free bus service, not just for the lack of a charge, but it saved me being exposed to Somchai Suhumacher taxi driver tailgating at 140KM/HR in the pissing rain on Vibhavadi-Rangsit Road.

 

Hopefully it might be of help to somebody.

But has anyone tried the train into and out of Bangkok to the Airport? Its brilliant !

[yorta2 693]

Yes, used the train a few times, but if you catch it around peak hour (for me that was about 5pm from Swampy) it is very crowded within 1 or 2 stations. If you have baggage it is a pain in the arse, and other passengers don't give you any sympathy. Then (for me) I have to catch another train to Nana. I quite enjoy the trip when I have very little baggage, though.

 

I would love to see a free bus from Swampy to Sukhumvit, but baggage would still be a hassle.

Yes used it loads of times, great if you are only travelling with hand luggage, but if you have a suitcase a pain lugging it around Phaya Thai or any other stop either to the sky train, taxi or bus rank downstairs.

 

Pity they stopped the direct service, now the city link service which stops at all the stations and can get really crowded depending on time of day. Still great value for 45 baht.

The train works,the way it works is you just make sure your hotel is as close as possible to a skytrain stop,doing that makes sense anyway who needs to be walking after a night on the town.

Getting a seat on the train at the airport in not usually a problem.That's why I take the airport bus from Jomtien and then the train to Sukhumvit and the skytrain to my hotel,as I hate taxis and the mini-bus it solves that problem and being cheaper that's a bonus,though if you have lots of heavy luggage and

struggle with stairs a taxi is the best.

[yorta2 693]

Okay, but to take a train to Sukhumvit from Swampy isn't as easy as you are making out. How do you get a train from the airport to Sukhumvit? And going back is still again a pain in the arse if you have baggage. I sometimes find that it is easier (on the way back) to get a taxi to Makassan station from Sukhumvit, then jumping on the train. But you need to find what works for you....

[yselmike 393]

The train connects with the skytrain at phayathai station,you do have to hump your bags down a flight of stairs.

No I don't...... wheeling it from the baggage hall to the hands of the waiting driver in the arrivals hall is as close to risking a coronary I want to get!

Just look at it as part of your daily 10,000 steps,

Baggage? you take Baggage? I buy most of my clothes there then dump most of it before I come back ! Shorts and T shirts do the job with a decent shirt and pair of slacks for anything remotley posh.

For my upcoming trip to blighty I was gonna buy new skiddies from Buakhao market but then thought bollocks - I'm gonna take my oldest, scabbiest, shit stained, cum stained, threadbare skiddies I have then just chuck 'em in the bin each day. Nobody in UK is gonna want to put their hand inside my pants anyway so who cares???

 

 

By the way....What bin should I throw them in? ...... Industrial waste is what I am thinking.....

So you don't have Marks and Sparks on your list of 'to dos'......?

Nearly everyone returning to the UK visits M&S!!

When I was employable I'd use M&S for socks and Chinos but nowadays have need for neither....I buy decent skiddies from Factory Outlet on Suk and cheap ones that allow more room for my balls to dangle when they need a good airing from Soi Buakhao ...or perhaps that was more info than you wanted to hear..

[Goldpanner 399]

I never take much to Thailand now, a spare pair of socks, skiddies some decent slacks and that usually goes in a shoulder bag with the laptop or Tablets.

I just buy the stuff from the street markets though I do wish they would bring back the "2 T shirts for 100 Baht"

I occasionally get some decent shirts made, then take them to another talors to be overstitched as they usually fall apart.

I remember back in the 70's and 80's I used to go out there with evrything I needed in a Tesco bag !!

There's a marks and sparks in pattaya and a couple in Bangkok,some sort of franchise I think.

Can't afford them!

[Goldpanner 399]

My problem is I just get bored with the busses, taxis and trains so I tend to mix up my transfers, but I do like the train. I rarely have a suitcase (Unless the wife wants me to cart back loads of stuff for her) so that doesnt bother me.

And as for skiddies? Wear them one way for a week then turn them inside out. Simples.
