Upon landing at Bangkok's airport, public transport services will be suspended. You can catch a taxi from the airport's Level 7 taxi stand, which takes about 30 to 40 minutes to reach the city center. Taxi fares typically range from 300 to 800 baht, depending on traffic and highway tolls.

If you arrive in Bangkok early in the morning, you can download a Thai ride-hailing app in advance to easily call a car into the city.

Another option is to use a ride-hailing app, which is quite popular in Thailand. The most commonly used apps are Grab and Bolt . While Bolt can be about 20% cheaper than Grab, keep in mind that the quality of drivers can vary, and cancellations may occur. Other popular options include Line Man , InDrive , and Maxim . If you're looking for a more premium service, Cabb offers a higher-quality experience but at a higher fare.
