Tips
Get a discounted Thailand SIM card with an internet plan at Suvarnabhumi Airport and stay connected during your trip on the Airport Rail Link train. In case your phone is eSIM compatible, book online a Thailand eSIM and use the internet right after landing.
To make traveling on the train more comfortable, leave your unnecessary bags at Suvarnabhumi Airport luggage storage and travel lightly.
If you are landing at Suvarnabhumi and want to take a bus to Pattaya or Hua Hin, you don't need to take the Airport Rail Link train to the city, as there are buses to these destinations that depart directly from the BKK Airport. Bus tickets can be booked online here: Bus tickets at Suvarnabhumi.
The Airport Rail Link is just one part of the complex mass rapid transit system in the Thai capital. To make the most of your visit, get familiar with other metro lines in Bangkok.
