There are various ways to get to Bangkok Airport, and we described all of them in detail in the article about Bangkok Suvarnabhumi Airport, how to get there. But there is one way to get to the airport from Bangkok for only 21 baht(0.65 rubles, see the currency of Thailand and the exchange rate), or from Pattaya for 42 baht, although the route will have to spend 3-4 hours. This route passes through the Lat Kratang railway station, which is located very close to the airport.
To get to the airport for 21 baht from Bangkok, you first need to get to Bangkok Hualaphong railway station. You can do this by metro (see Bangkok metro), or if you are staying in Chinatown area, on foot. From there to the east direction (East Line) to the Lat Kratang station (also sometimes spelled Lat Krabang), trains with third-class carriages costing 6 baht depart at least 10 times daily! You can check the schedule here - www.railway.co.th/checktime /. The journey takes about 1 hour, because these trains are very slow, they make many stops along the way.
From Pattaya to Lat Krabang station, the train runs twice a day from the local railway station (see Pattaya stations) at 14:21 and 16:26, the cost is 27 baht. You can check the schedule here - www.railway.co.th/checktime
At the Lat Krabang station, you need to switch to the airport metro line ARL (Airport Rail Link), from where you can get to the airport by City Line train for 16 baht in just one stop. These trains run from 06:00 to 24:00 approximately every 15 minutes. You can check the schedule and cost here - www.srtet.co.th /. The City Line train arrives at the lower floor of the Suvarnabhumi Airport, and all that remains is to go up to the departure or arrival hall by escalator or elevator.
You can also get from Lat Kratang to the airport by taxi for 50 baht.
