Also known as Bangkok International Airport, Suvarnabhumi is the main airport in Bangkok and one of the largest in Southeast Asia, handling upwards of 50 million passengers every year. To reach the city centre, which is 16 miles (25 kilometres) away, catch the Bangkok Airport Link to Phayathai Station, and take the BTS Skytrain from there. Trains run frequently from 06:00 to 00:00. Alternatively, taking a taxi may be cheaper if you're travelling as a group.

There are plenty of hotels located inside/close to the main terminal, in case you need to stay the night before a connecting flight. There are also various ways to keep yourself occupied before takeoff – from tasty Thai restaurants and duty-free shopping, to VIP lounges with Thai massages on offer.

Bangkok Suvarnabhumi Airport has two international terminals, Terminals 1 and 2, and one domestic terminal that is 500 metres from Terminal 2. All are connected by a free shuttle bus service that runs 24 hours a day.
