In Bangkok, you can use the airport link from Pratunam (Centre of the city) to Suwannabhum airport that cost 100thb for the rapid train.... It's new sky train line that just started yesterday....

There are several grades of hotels around Pratunam area that is close to the Airport Link.....

Have fun in Bangkok....

Ah.. the skytrain connection is finally in use. That's good news.

I've always used the airport shuttle bus connection from downstairs. 150THB to where ever I'm heading to in Bangkok. I use the same shuttle service when I need to get back to the airport.

Hey Kilster....the information above is good.....if you have any specific questions, feel free to ask.....either I or another Bangkok based rff member can help you out......(or someone who knows this city well)

cheers, michael

p.s....as far as hotels go...it depends on what you want to pay....30-50.00 usd or 50-100.00 or up...there is a lot of choices but it depends on your needs (wants)...

The cab fare in bangkok is dirt cheap compare to what you 'd have to pay the US. I'd stay at the Amari since it's cheap and it's right in the heart of Bangkok.

There are decent hotels in the 1000 baht range that have air, hot water, private toilet/bath, cable TV, etc.

Here is a hotel that is off of Sukhumvit Road, on Soi 5, just down from the Foodland Supermarket. (Foodland has a nice in-store lunch counter open 24 hr.) Hotel has an "all you can eat" breakfast buffet. Other hotels in this area if you want to change, especially around Soi 11. There are bars, restaurants, malls, street vendors and travel agencies for tours in this area.


Slightly more expensive is the Asia Hotel. The Asia is right at a Skytrain stop. Short walk to shopping on Phetchaburi Road (malls, street vendors, restaurants, etc.)


You don not have to book every night at one time.

Taxi including tolls and surcharge around 340/390 baht using the meter taxi (see travel forum links below.) During the day or early evening hours there is an Airport Express bus that goes by many hotels. Price is 200 baht. Leaves from the terminal.

Good luck.
