Overview: transportation from Bangkok to Bangkok Airport

The short distance drive from Bangkok to Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK, Bangkok’s most popular airport) takes just 40 minutes with Daytrip’s private transfer service.

Travelers to Don Mueang (DMK) can also rely on a Daytrip private car transfer to DMK airport and will enjoy a shorter duration of just 30 minutes.

On the Bangkok to BKK transfer, travelers can stop for sightseeing at some of Thailand’s most memorable sites. For instance, the country’s oldest city, Nakhon Pathom, is a great pit stop featuring the world’s tallest chedi and an ornate palace. Or, the iconic Maeklong Railway Market allows visitors to explore a bustling market built along a fully operational railway track. Visitors can shop, enjoy a final taste of the local cuisine, and watch as trains roll right through the market.

Daytrip also offers private transfers from the Bangkok Airport to the city center, starting your trip off in style and comfort with stress-free door-to-door transport. Book online here!

About Bangkok Airport

After your Bangkok to Bangkok Airport transfer is complete, you will find yourself in an efficient, exciting transport hub. The airport is divided into a main terminal where security and ground transportation are located, as well as a West zone (Gates A, B, C), a Center zone (Gate D), an East Zone (Gates E, F, G.), and the SAT-1 (Gates S) satellite building.

The Gates S are located in the satellite building, conveniently connected to the main terminal by an automated train system. If you're transferring to these gates, be sure to allow extra time for the short ride to SAT-1, ensuring a smooth connection at Bangkok Suvarnabhumi Airport. Plan ahead for a stress-free journey!

The airport also has 4 levels, with arrivals on the second floor and departures on Level 4. You can explore the layout of the whole airport here.

On average, travelers can expect to spend around 90 minutes navigating the airport before their flight, though it can take closer to 3 hours when large crowds create congestion at security and immigration.

From Bangkok to Bangkok Airport: travel tips

There are a few ways to make your Bangkok to Bangkok Airport transport experience more comfortable and convenient.

Choose a private transfer

For the most elevated travel experience, cover the distance with a Daytrip private car transfer. This is a particularly convenient option for travelers with kids, as it's possible to book cars with child seats. A private journey also allows parents to sit back and relax instead of facing the stress of navigating public transport with children in tow. With child seats and door-to-door service, Daytrip ensures maximum safety and comfort for even your littlest travelers.

Set off early

Be sure to get an early start to make the most of your drive from Bangkok to BKK Airport. When you schedule your ride early, you leave yourself more time for sightseeing and can reach the airport with plenty of time to spare, even in heavy traffic. This is also important for travelers with children to avoid the added stress of rushing at the airport.

A private transfer is a great option for airport transport. It provides more flexibility than a bus timetable and enables you to choose a departure time that aligns with your flight time and preferences.

Explore Thailand on the way

Perhaps the best part of a Bangkok to Bangkok airport transfer is the opportunity to explore more of Thailand on your own schedule. Passengers can add sightseeing stops to their trip at booking, including at iconic locations such as Maeklong Railway Market or Nakhon Pathom, Thailand’s oldest city.

This is an added benefit of taking a Daytrip private transfer, as you aren’t restricted to a bus timetable or prevented from making stops for the duration of your trip.

How to get from Bangkok to Bangkok Airport

There are a few options for your trip from Bangkok to BKK, including private and public transport, listed below in order of convenience.

Bangkok to BKK by private car service

The most comfortable and convenient option for this transfer is Daytrip’s private door-to-door car service, a 40-minute journey with optional sightseeing adventures en route. The flexible booking allows you to travel stress-free with the assurance that if your plans change, your custom itinerary with Daytrip can change with them.

Bangkok to BKK by car

It is possible to drive yourself from Bangkok to BKK, but travelers should be aware that the cost of a rental car can be fairly high during peak travel times. Taxi fare is around $15 on average to and from the airport, while a rental car can be more than $63 per day not including fuel fees.

Beyond the cost, a rental car can be more hassle than it’s worth during your time in Thailand. A taxi can be a feasible alternative, but bear in mind you likely won’t be able to schedule your ride in advance and may face long wait times.

Bangkok to BKK by public transport

For the budget traveler, taking a bus or shared shuttle from the city to the airport may be the most cost-effective option. A bus ticket costs around $5-$9 depending on the bus company and your departure bus station, with the cheapest fare available online in advance.

Group shuttles are also available on this route from various companies for around $9-$15 per seat. However, the journey will likely take longer than with a private transfer, as you will make additional stops on either a shuttle or bus.

Things to do when you get to Bangkok Airport

After securing Bangkok to Bangkok Airport transport, travelers can look forward to exploring BKK and its many amenities.

The airport offers 50 dining options, including local Thai establishments and international comfort foods. It also has hundreds of shops, ranging from luxury destinations like Burberry and Cartier to more accessible gift shops for last-minute duty-free souvenirs.

The airport also features independent lounges run by Miracle Lounges for travelers on any airline. For further relaxation, visitors can enjoy a Thai massage at the Miracle Transit Hotel spa on Level 3 of the airport.

For families, the airport’s free wifi and playing areas are perfect for keeping children entertained before long flights.

It was a fantastic trip.

“We were extremely satisfied with the quality of service we received from Day Trip. We had two Day Trip rides on August 31 from Athens to Lefkada and September 7 from Lefkada back to Athens. Both trips included stops at scenic sites in Greece. Both drivers were excellent and accommodating. However, we’d especially like to recognize Panos Peppas, who was our driver from Lefkada to Athens. Panos was incredibly nice & pleasant and delivered outstanding customer service, which included handling all of luggage, providing us with cold waters throughout the trip, providing us protein bars, providing us with printed materials on the Corinth Canal (one of scenic stops), looking up and providing us with terminal & gate info for our flight back home and providing us with a recipe for tzatziki.”

Reasonably Priced and Safe Transportation

“Gonzalo from daytrip was our driver and he was absolutely amazing. He went over and beyond trying to locate us as our service wasn't so good on our phones. He patiently awaited our arrival to the lobby so he could take us from Tulum Dreams Resort to our other hotel in cancun an hour and a half away near the airport prior to our departure flight home. He was polite, respectful and kind. Made sure we were comfortable during our long ride. Fast and to the point. I recommend this company as finding a one way ride from Tulum to Cancun isn't easy or cheap and this company provides a great service for a great price. I will definitely be using them again whenever I'm in the Cancun/Tulum area. Thank you DayTrip and Gonzola.”

Daytrip never disappoints

“We were picked up by Marianna to drive us from Heraklion to Chania. The weather was terrible & due to this Marianna arrived a few minutes late. She contacted me to advise of this. Marianna lives in Chana and she made our trip very interesting by informing us of local things to do and see in Chania. Marianna is a safe driver and we all felt comfortable with the speed she drove at and how good her driving was in heavy rain. She is a lovely person with fluent English. We highly recommend Daytrips and if you are in Heraklion or Chania please make sure you ask for Marianna.”

Great way to travel and see some sights on the way

“We did not know what to expect with this trip and booked from Australia. We were initially looking for an easy way to travel from Granada to Malaga. We decided not to waste the opportunity to see something additional on our way. Miguel certainly exceeded our expectations. His English was excellent (unfortunately we speak very little Spanish), and he was very friendly and helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed hearing about the regions as we passed through and also discussing some of the local ways. Miguel took us to Antequera as planned and ensured we were able to easily get our tickets to the attractions without any sense of rushing us. We were picked up and dropped off punctually and really enjoyed our trip. Hopefully we will return to Spain and we can use this service again sometime.”
