Ground Transportation

Taxis

Official metered taxis are available 24/7 on the 1st Floor (Level 1) at Gates 4 and 7. Passengers must get a ticket from an automated kiosk, which directs them to a specific numbered lane. A 50 THB airport surcharge is added to the final metered fare, and passengers are responsible for any highway tolls. Ride-hailing services like Grab are also available with designated pickup points.

Rental Cars

Car rental counters for major international and local companies (such as Avis, Hertz, Sixt, Budget, and Thai Rent A Car) are located on the 2nd Floor (Level 2) of the passenger terminal, near Gate 8. It is recommended to book in advance. An International Driving Permit is often required along with your original driver's license.

Public Transportation

The Airport Rail Link (ARL) is the most efficient public transit option, located on the Basement (B) Floor. It provides a direct train service to downtown Bangkok, connecting with the BTS Skytrain at Phaya Thai station and the MRT subway at Makkasan station. Public buses and vans to various parts of Bangkok and other cities (like Pattaya and Hua Hin) operate from the Public Transportation Center, which is accessible via a free shuttle bus from the main terminal.
