Transportation Options to Silom Convent Garden

No Highway 300 Baht = 250 Baht taxi meter + 50 Baht airport taxi stand fee
1. Highway 380 Baht = 250 Baht taxi meter + 50 Baht airport taxi stand fee + 80 Baht tollway/expressway

Taxi services are available just outside the Arrivals/Transportation area. Go to the exit doors and look for the “Taxi Stand” and line of taxis waiting for passengers. The worker at the taxi stand will ask where you are going, tell him “Silom”, or if you prefer, we have provided a taxi card above that you can print and show it to the taxi driver. In order to get a fair price from the taxi driver, say “meter.” Note that there is a 50 Baht extra charge for taxis that leave the airport from the taxi stand.

In order to get a fair price from the taxi driver, say “meter khap” to him as he is putting your bags in the car. Or you can wait until inside the taxi, but make sure you say “meter” otherwise the driver will most likely not turn on the meter and overcharge you.  

Once you’re in a taxi and en route to Silom Convent Garden, the taxi may recommend using the “Toll-way” if your destination is deep into Bangkok. This is usually a good idea, especially if it’s the middle of rush hour and you’re headed deep into downtown Bangkok, which is where Silom Convent Garden. Typical protocol for paying for this (it’s not included in the metered rate) is paying the driver as the tollbooths come. The “Toll-way” won’t cost more than Bt120 at its furthest point.

3. Airport Bus Ltd.

Cost: 150 Baht

Leaves every 30 minutes, 4 different routes, take AE1 Bus (Silom), closed in afternoons. Go to www.airportbus.com for more information

4. Rent a Car

To rent a car, contact the car rental service counter at the arrival hall and a free, well-marked shuttle bus will transport you to your car.

5. Public Bus

The same shuttle bus goes to the public bus termina at the airport, which has air-conditioned buses to a number of locations. Public buses are only really worth taking if you’re traveling alone. When in a group, combining everyone’s money and using a metered taxi is much faster, more comfortable and more efficient.

The local bus numbers and locations are as follows:

1. Number 549 – Minburi (northern Bangkok suburb)
2. Number 550 – Happy Land (Theme Park in the outskirts of Bangkok)
3. Number 551 – Victory Monument (downtown Bangkok)
4. Number 552 – The “On Nut” BTS (skytrain) Station (eastern Bangkok)
5. Number 553 – Samut Prakarn (eastern neighboring province of Bangkok)

If you’re taking a public bus, you should go to “On Nut” BTS Sky TrainStation, which is the easternmost Skytrain stop, and from there purchase a ticket for BTS Station "Chon Nongsi" From any of the local bus stop location, you can take a taxi (insist on using the meter) to Silom Convent Garden.
