My Retirement Dream

I cannot say that I know of any actual map, but the Suvarhabhumi Airport website does offer a page on Public Bus Service. There is some further Public Bus information well down the page here, and Airport Express information here. If busing to a hotel is your concern, then try this page describing Airport Express to Bangkok Hotels. This Transportation Management at Suvarnabhumi Airport guide is rather helpful. They have condensed information of the various modes of transportation onto this page: Transportation.

For anyone new to the airport, some good transportation guidance is here, and this November 9, 2010, blog post.

“Bangkok Crazy that’s what all the TukTuk drivers are in Bk don’t get me wrong I like a séance of danger as much as the next man but careering between a bus and a truck flat out at night does give you a moment’s pause, it you are outside a major sightseeing spot like the grand palace their will be TukTuk drivers dressed like normal guides who will offer to give you directions to the place you want to walk to, next thing you know you’re in a Ticket/Suite/Gem office wondering how in the hell you got their…I should know it happened to me and a couple of other people I met, the really “nice Thai guy” convinced me that I couldn’t rent out long trousers to visit the afoe mentioned GP and that I should really visit the DTC behind the train station and get my discounted travel tickets sorted out but I had better do it quick as it was about to close for the weekend, now I read the GBs same as you will telling you about this scam, and I had laughed at another couple of hucksters who told me this and that was shut (one even tried to convince me that China town was shut for the day) but this guy was good, I mean he had an official looking polo shirt and a big cardboard map for god’s sake, so about five minutes into the Ticket Office girls sales pitch and with the help of the much needed AC the penny dropped and I asked the girl who readily agreed that the Guy and his Tuk Tuk accomplice were paid to send people in, the TukTuk driver with petrol vouchers and the guy a cut but that they still had great deals…which they did and which I bought…the Tuk Tuk driver had the b##ls to try and get me to go for a suit when I got out and scolded him, which I turned down, maybe I should have went as the days since then have been great.

Back to Bangkok at the Airport a bus into town is 150bh and a Taxi 500bh(about a tenner) I took the bus but wish I had of taken the Taxi as walking in Bk with a heavy backpack with no real idea if you are going the right way is not a big pile of fun, eventually I found Sam Sen Sam 48 Samsen rood +6626287067 which was a good place clean friendly staff good AC/food I had a double room to myself for the first two nights at 750bh a night which is not cheap but I wanted my first couple of nights to be comfortable and they were, I moved eventually to My House 37Soi chanasongkram pha-athit rd +6628292634 which was cheap 160bh AN single, shared shower/bathroom 200bh AN on suite was wasn’t bad as it had a big common room downstairs which showed Films every night but the staff were a bit harsh and the rooms had no Blankets it was pretty much Leos hostel room in “The Beach”

Banglamphu/ khao San is a bit nuts if you go to the busy parts and has quite allot of old white guy with beautiful young Thai birds which is a part and parcel of what Bk is scratch the surface and it get sleazy real quick.

In a nutshell spend as little time in Bk as you can unless you’re with a big gang on the **** with plenty of money or an old White guy.

O yea and the Guinness in Patpongs Irish house O Flarretys wasnt atol bad”
