The new shuttle bus between Don Mueang Airport and the center of Bangkok is proving to be a great success, especially among foreign tourists. The first five days of the new route brought a lot of passengers and therefore extra income for the BMTA. The bus runs on two routes: to Lumphini park and Sanam Luang.

Previously, two routes were introduced: to Chatuchak and Victory Monument. The BMTA will add even more routes, including routes to tourist destinations.

Suvarnabhumi Airport may have connections to Khao San Road, Sanam Luang, Ekkamai Bus Station and Hua Lamphong Station. However, the situation here is different because many passengers have luggage with them and therefore opt for a taxi. In addition, there are more alternatives available, such as the Airport Rail Link to the city centre.

The BMTA will therefore have to adapt the buses so that there is more space for luggage.

    Who here has information about the itinerary and the price?

    A1+.2: 30 bt/one way, go when they are full or fancy, A1 very frequent, from approx 6.00:23.59-10:XNUMX. Pay on the bus at the conductor-as with any city bus. Incidentally, these buses suffer from the same problem as the newspaper says: too little space for luggage, although they are the newest, but by now more than XNUMX years old AC-orange city buses of the government bus-me. BMTA (bmta.co.th). They mostly go via the tollway.
    A3/nw: fare 50 VAT. Times will be the same, journey time unknown can turn out to be very long. So there is NO reliable "departure time" if you would like to catch a certain plane.
    A more expensive partic had been running for several years. small bus (no minivan) DMK-KhaoSarn, if desired via Thewet, fare 150 bt, but only every 2 hours. and fixed times.
    FROM Khao Sarn area a (usually many) minivans drive every hour for 120/130/150 bt straight to Swampy = BKK, book the day before at where you sleep or 1 of the 10 travel agencies. They pick you up in the area/in front of the door, which is why a complicated pick-up schedule is put together during the night that is constantly changing. This is - for the sake of clarity, NOT the city bus described above.
    One of these now also picks up In Swampy taxi floor, 100 bt, usually a long wait until it is full.
    For the same price: taximeter to Phiyathai/ARL (70/80 bt per taximeter), then the ARL (45bt)

    When I go to Don Muang from the city I always take A1 or A2 from mo chit bts. If I remember correctly at the bottom of exit 3. (you have to skywalk across the road so you have the bus that goes further out of town)
    Leave about every 10 minutes and never have to stand. In 20 minutes you will be taken to departure hall 2 because they almost immediately go onto the toll road.
