Hello,

My flight arrives at Suvarnabhumi airport at midnight. Can anyone tell me what the best way is to get to this address? I'm not sure if there is public transport at that time?

Woodlands Inn, 1158/5-7 Chareon Krung Road, in the south-west section of Bang Rak.

Thanks,
Neeraj

There are buses from the airport 24/7 but the frequency is not great maybe once an hour after 11pm.

Route 551 to victory monument is the well used route.

Take route 551 to victory monument then take Route 77 to the end of silom road and walk a bit (10 mins) to your destination.

Route 77 departs from the south east side of victory monument.

Otherwise take a direct taxi for 350 to 400 baht.

Hi! I have the same problem - I will be arriving late. My hotel is
Asha Guest House
1, Soi Intamara 3, Suthisarn Road
Phayathai

The directions from the guest house say to take the 551 bus to Victory Monument then a Meter Taxi to the address. Is there any way to take public transport to the address?

since about 1 year ago ONLY route 551 still offers 24 hr service from Swampy-and you first have to go to the BUSterminal.
So dont bother-take a taxi-they are by western standards VERY cheap-and in the night you dont have to use expressway etc and there is hardly waiting-the best time to get a taxi! NO surcharge for nighttime either!-onlt the usual 50 bt extra for airport on top of meter. You maybe save 40/50 bt bu first go by bus (less as 1 EURO)-and loose about 2 hrs in waiting time-and I guess at that time you only want to go to bed in the Hotel asap, nah?
Various citybuses run 24 hr-but mostly only ev 30 mins or so nighttime-plus is this your 1st time here in BKK-the town looks anywhere all the same and you wont be able to find your stop etc easy.
