Suvarnabhumi Airport

สนามบินสุวรรณภูมิ

Your first hello and last goodbye — BKK's main gateway, 26 minutes from Phaya Thai by Airport Rail Link.

Bangkok's main gateway under Helmut Jahn's great wave of glass and steel — one of the world's busiest airports and, with the Airport Rail Link, about 26 minutes from Phaya Thai for under two dollars. Landside, the Magic Food Point on floor 1 is the budget food court, open 24 hours: the best last plate of Thai food before any flight.

Using it

Rail and boat services run to headways rather than published minute-by-minute timetables; the atlas quotes typical times, never a schedule.
Stored-value cards work within a single operator, not across all of them.
