Suvarnabhumi Airport

Suvarnabhumi Airport is about 25 km east of downtown Bangkok, in Samut Prakan province. The Airport Rail Link reaches Phaya Thai in about 27 minutes. By taxi, Sukhumvit and Silom are usually 45 to 75 minutes away, and the trip can take longer in evening traffic or heavy rain.

No. Suvarnabhumi (BKK) and Don Mueang (DMK) are two separate Bangkok airports. Suvarnabhumi is east of the city and handles most long-haul flights, while Don Mueang is in the north and serves many low-cost airlines. A free shuttle links them for passengers with a connecting ticket, taking 1 to 2 hours.

Suvarnabhumi has one large main terminal for all international and domestic flights, plus the SAT-1 satellite concourse. SAT-1 has 28 gates and is used only for boarding and arriving. An underground automated people mover links it to the main terminal, where check-in, immigration and baggage claim take place.

Thai Airways is the main airline at Suvarnabhumi and flies across Asia, Europe and Australia. Bangkok Airways, Thai AirAsia and Thai VietJet Air serve Thai cities such as Phuket and Chiang Mai. Emirates, Qatar Airways, Singapore Airlines, Cathay Pacific, Lufthansa, Air France and United Airlines also fly here.

The public taxi stand is on Level 1, one floor below arrivals, between Gates 4 and 7, and it operates 24 hours. Take a queue ticket from the kiosk, which gives you a lane number and a slip with the driver's details. Ask for the meter, and return to the queue if a driver refuses.

Take the Airport Rail Link from the station on the airport's basement level. Trains run from 05:30 to midnight every 10 to 13 minutes and reach Phaya Thai, the last stop, in about 27 minutes. Change to the BTS Skytrain at Phaya Thai or to the MRT Blue Line at Makkasan.

Yes. All foreign visitors must complete the Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC) online at tdac.immigration.go.th within the three days before arrival, and it is free. Since 15 September 2026, travelers from most visa-exempt countries can stay 30 days, so check the rules for your passport.

Pattaya is about 120 km southeast of Suvarnabhumi Airport, roughly 90 minutes by car on Motorway 7 when roads are clear. Roong Reuang Coach buses leave from Level 1 near Gate 8 and take about two hours. Taxis and pre-arranged cars also make the trip.

The S1 airport bus runs directly to Khao San Road from Level 1, Gate 7, between 06:00 and 20:00, and takes 60 to 90 minutes. It accepts cash only. Taxis from the Level 1 stand and Grab are other options, especially after the bus stops running in the evening.

Bangkok uses Indochina Time (UTC+7) all year, with no daylight saving time. The climate is hot throughout the year, with a rainy season from about May to October. Thailand's currency is the Thai baht, and ATMs and exchange counters are available inside the airport.

Suvarnabhumi handled about 62.9 million passengers in 2025, around 50 million of them on international flights. It is operated by Airports of Thailand (AOT) and has three runways. Immigration lines tend to be longest in the early afternoon, so allow extra time when you arrive between about 1 pm and 5 pm.
