Suvarnabhumi Airport launches new Skytrain station bus service

Bangkok’s urban transport operator has inaugurated a new bus service linking Suvarnabhumi Airport to a city Skytrain station. The service went live on the 1 October and runs from the airport to the BTS Skytrain station of Udomsuk.

En route, the A3 services call at two key shopping centres close to the Bang Na Intersection and King Kaew. One-way fares for the service are a flat THB30 no matter how many stops travelled and are payable in local currency only. 

The Bangkok Mass Transit Authority (BMTA) said it will utilise six buses on the route at first and they will run between 06:00 and 20:30. The BMTA statement did note that buses from Suvarnabhumi would not operate to a fixed timetable, but would depart when enough passengers were onboard to make it worthwhile. 

As well as buses directly from Suvarnabhumi to various Bangkok destinations, there is a nearby transportation station with buses to popular locations such as Pattaya and Hua Hin. 12GO ASIA offers a convenient booking service for these buses that ensures arriving passengers have a confirmed seat reservation.
