AIRPORT TO CITY (  http://www.suvarnabhumiairport.com/ )

There are plenty of ways to get into the city from Suvarnabhumi the world largest Airport. Most people opt for the Airport Rail Link, by far the fastest way to get into downtown, although taxis are also among the cheapest priced by world standards. For a taxi just go to the public taxi stand at the airport, take a number and go to the parking slot. Small advice: Make sure the meter is switched on an shows 35 Baht on the meter. Please be aware an additional fee of 70 Baht (approx. 2 USD) and some 100 Baht +/- are charged extra for using the tollway once or twice - depends often on the driver. Some rounding up tipp at the end of 50 Baht or is appreciated. 

BY skytrain : Located on the basement level of the passenger terminal - just follow the signs. We recommend to take the train to the final stop at Phya Thai Station and then a short taxi ride to your hotel nearby. The so-called City Line is a commuter rail line that stops at all stations and is now the only connection. Trains leave approx. every 10 min, and after Makkasan station it continues to Ratchaprarop and Phaya Thai stations. The ride to Phaya Thai takes 24min from/to the airport and costs 45 baht. (the ride to or from Makkasan is 35 baht, Ratchaprarop is 40 baht, Lat Krabang is 15 baht ). They run from 0600 to 2359. http://www.srtet.co.th/index.php/en/

BY TAXI 

Metered taxis are available on the first floor (one floor below arrivals). Follow the "public taxi" signs that lead to the outside of the airport premises, and take a ticket from the machine. Cost 300- 450 Thai Baht. Just go to the parking slot of the number shown on your ticket. No need to take a Limousine Service (cost 800 THB or more). But always make sure the taxi driver switches on the Taxi Meter (showing 35 Baht).
