Public buses from Suvarnabhumi Airport

Public buses leave from the Public Transportation Centre, a short free shuttle ride from the terminal. They are the cheapest way into town and reach many districts, but they are slow in Bangkok traffic and tight on luggage space.

• Take the free shuttle from the terminal to the Public Transportation Centre to board city buses.
• Fares are low — usually well under 50 THB — paid to the conductor or by card on newer buses.
• Journeys are slow and unpredictable in traffic; best if you're travelling light and not in a hurry.
• Carry small change and know your stop, as not every driver speaks English.
