    Travelling by Airport Rail Link
    Travelling by Airport Rail Link from Swarnabumi Airport was easy, fast and comfortable. Traffic jam in Bangkok is unavoidable and taking the train takes you without any hassle. It is comfortable and takes you right to the heart of Bagkok for you to transfer connect to metro line and subway line.

    Convenient, quick, reliable, inexpensive
    The most convenient, quick and reliable way to get to/from Suvarnabhumi airport. Trains run frequently, are well airconditioned, quick (no traffic jams, of course) and cost little (45 THB one-way from airport to Phayathai Station). Trains tend to be overcrowded by commuters during rush hour, though.

    Best Airport Transport
    The best option is to reach the airport to City, City to airport to avoid traffic jams and save a few baht in your pocket. But it's not a 24-hour service. I waited for almost 3 hours in the airport as I landed around 2.30 am for the train in the early morning. Budget-friendly when you particularly travel as a solo backpacker.

    Quick, efficient and cost effective.
    I've used this service more times than I can remember and find it very convenient and cheap. When first opened it was awkward as access was difficult and transfer between BTS and MRT difficult, especially with luggage. While still not perfect, this is now much improved. If you intend to use, do a little study beforehand and work out the best stop for your city destination - and most convenient transfer station. I am almost always solo and this is much better than a taxi. If in a group, you may prefer a pre-booked shuttle or taxi.

    Brilliant way to get to Phaya Thai
    If you are staying near the BTS then this train is for you. The fare to Phaya Thai is only THB 45, such a bargain. From here travel to other stations easily. Best and Cheapest transport system from the Airport that I know of. Warning though - it does not run between Midnight and 5:30am

Economical and convenient option to go between BKK airport and Bangkok city center. The train departs every 15 mins and 10mins during peak hours. It took only around 30 mins to get to our hotel, which is right next to the last stop of Airport Rail Link. Super convenient and quick. Highly recommend if you want to get the city center quickly. There are about 6 stops in between the airport to City Center.

It is very convenience and comfortable to go to Suvarnabhumi airport and go back into the city. The price is not much high comparing with the service.

If you need to get to or from the BKK main airport, the Airport Rail Link is a good option.. You will take the BTS to Phaya Thai and then buy a token for the airport rail link -- just 45 baht, Can't beat the price. The ride is about 1hour and you may end up standing, but people do exit so you may get lucky and have a seat free up.
