Travel from BKK airport (Suvarnbhumi) to Your airbnb

         The best way to get to Baanpayoo is taxi. However, if you want to obtain a ride to hopping around the area  or go futher, I would advise using the Bolt or Grab app. Like Uber, Bolt and Grab is particularly popular throughout Southeast Asia. It is convenient for you to move around and helps you avoid taxi tourist scams because at least you are aware of the price and the directions

Download Grab and Bolt Apps

We recommend downloading both Grab and Bolt before your arrival. Here’s why:

  • Compare Prices: Both apps offer competitive rates, but prices can vary depending on demand. Checking both ensures you get the best deal.
  • Availability: In our area, Bolt often has more drivers available, making it easier to find a ride quickly.

How to Find the Pickup Area

  • Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK)
    Follow signs to “Public Transportation” or “Ride-Hailing Services” on Level 1
    Grab rides have a designated Ride-Hailing Pickup Zone.
    Bolt: Drivers don’t have a specific pickup point. After booking, the driver will message you to confirm their pickup location. Be prepared to meet them at a nearby, easy-to-access spot. with this reason the idea to use grab at the airport may convenience
  • Don Mueang Airport (DMK)
    Terminal 1: Exit at Gate 7.
    Terminal 2: Exit at Gate 14.
    Bolt: Similarly, the driver will message you about where they can pick you up.
