Good to know on this route
- Pickups or drop-offs west of the Chao Phraya (the Thonburi side) add ฿100–200.
- The distance and drive time shown are the Suvarnabhumi Airport figures; from a central Bangkok address they are similar, depending on the city traffic when you set off.
- More than 8 hours on the road. If time matters, a domestic flight is quicker, and we can drive the airport legs at each end. Book 2–3 days ahead.
