Getting to Suvarnabhumi Airport on the Bangkok Airport Train

By J C Jan 12, 2012 / No Comments

Whether you are in a hurry, or trying to travel on a budget, you just can’t beat the Bangkok Airport Train for speed, convenience and cost to get to Suvarnabhumi Airport.

When I was headed out of Thailand recently I wanted to go from Bangkok’s Hualamphong Train station to Suvarnabhumi Airport using the Bangkok Airport Train. So I went online for information and to plan the route and connections but the information wasn’t to clear about the connections. So here you are. Let’s take the journey together.

The ARL operates daily from 6:00 a.m. to 12 midnight, with the City Line trains departing every 15 minutes and the Express Line trains departing every 30 minutes. Between 23 August 2010 and 3 January 2011, passengers were charged a promotional fare of 15 Baht or 100 Baht on the City Line and Express Line service, respectively. On 4 January 2011, a standard fare of 15 to 45 Baht for the City Line was introduced. The Express Line was priced at 150 baht but insufficient patronage lead to a promotional fare of 90/150 for a single/return trip (within 14 days) on the Express Line from 1 June 2011. This fare has been extended until the end of 2012.
Since 4 January 2011, baggage check-in service is offered to passengers traveling on flights operated by Thai Airways International from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m., daily. Passengers checking in at Makkasan station (the city air terminal) are required to purchase an Express Line ticket and check in at least 3 hours prior to flight departure, or up to 12 hours in advance. Bangkok Airways discontinued baggage check-in service in this facility on 13 June 2011. However, very few passengers use the Makkasan station check in service with as few as 20 or less per day. So you can expect this service to discontinue in my opinion.
