Transportation at at Suvarnabhumi Airport

Train
The construction of the City Airport Terminal in Makkasan and a 28.6 km high-speed rail link to the new airport started in July 2005 and are planned for completion in November 2007, although this deadline, too, seems unlikely to be met. The airport express, informally known as the Pink Line and operated jointly with SRT's planned Red Line commuter service, will connect with the BTS Sukhumvit Line and MRT Blue Line at Phaya Thai and Phetchaburi stations respectively, offering airport-bound passengers a fast 15-minute limited stop journey from the city.

Bus
11 city bus routes operated by BMTA serve the airport's dedicated bus terminal. There are also direct long-distance services to Pattaya and Nong Khai.

Taxi
Metered taxi service will be available at the first floor of the terminal building. Additionally, flat-fare limousine services will also be available.

Car
The airport has 5 main access routes. Among these the most convenient route is via the Bangkok-Chon Buri Motorway (Highway No. 7).
