Airport Express or MRT/Skytrain or taxi

Arrving next week about 1:00 PM, hotel not sure maybe Siam or Silom, anyway has anyone used the Aiport Express bus service to their hotel? How about getting on at MRT-Phetchaburi to the city, compared to a taxi/bus that could get stuck in traffic?

At 1 PM you have the option of the Airport Express Bus leaving directly from the terminal.

You also have the cheaper 35 baht city bus that can get you into the city where you can continue your ride to the hotel by meter taxi or even the Skytrain. You have to use the free shuttle to get to the little bus station not far from the main terminal.

There is no MRT that leaves from the airport! There is a rapid transit system being built but it is not open just yet.

Bus may take over an hour in traffic to get to the Sukhumvit/Siam area.

Meter taxi is best if time is important. Avoid the touts selling rides in the arrivals hall. Meter taxi is located outside the arrivals hall, near the curb. When there are many flights landing at the same time there may be two meter taxi desks open. Lots of posts on meter taxi from the airport when you use the search function.

Nearest Skytrain stop to Phetchaburi Road is probably at the Asia Hotel. (Ratchathewi stop.)

Lots of hotels near the Nana Skytrain stop in all price ranges.

When you take the Airport Express Bus the bus gets you close to your hotel. You would have to walk a bit to get to where your hotel is. I use it a lot when I have flights landing during the day or early evening hours. I like it, slow or not. When I do use it it is when I have a hotel on Sukhumvit Road. No Airport Express Bus after midnight.

Good luck.

The Airport Express at 150 baht per person is not a good deal, when you can have a taxi for door-to-door service for about 350 baht.

Changing to the MRT or the BTS would be a big hassle with luggage and won%26#39;t bring you any gains. The taxis use the freeway and traffic jams are not a big issue.

Just take a metered taxi from the Public Taxi dispatcher outside Arrivals.
