Vibhavadi Rangsit Road is the main route linking DMK with downtown Bangkok.
Other transport webs bringing us to downtown are toll-way and expressways
which facilitate passengers' trip with more convenience and fastness.
Besides travelling by road, train is other choice for travelling to town,
spending 30 minutes only. The railway station is opposite and linked with
the airport by walkway bridge.

Hints:
You will receive many offers for taxis and hotels just before leaving the
arrival zone! Ignore them. Say: "no thank you". Most of these
services are too expensive. After leaving the arrival zone without losing
money, you may wish to first visit one of the
currency
exchange services. That's ok! Do it.
To go to Bangkok now, you will need a taxi. There are private taxis called
taxi and public taxis called taxi-meter. Take a taxi-meter, because it is
much more cheap. Some private taxis pay money to the airport, so they have a
better location for waiting for passengers.
Money-Hint: Use the exit on the third floor (departure) and ask an incoming
metered taxi for take you to your desired destination. These metered taxis
generally come from Bangkok to carry passengers to the airport. Here
is the best (and cheapest) place to get transportation to Bangkok central.
How to "use" a taxi: First, tell the driver your destination. If the
driver likes that, tell him you want transportation "by meter". If he
still agrees, you have your first golden deal. We highly recommend to
enter the taxi now! Let him use the "express road" and give him the
tollway fee (40 Baht). Finally, you will pay estimated 250 Baht
(depending on destination).
If the traffic is very busy in Bangkok (it happens sometimes...), many
drivers do not like to go "by meter" and you must bargain for the price. You
should not accept more than 70% of his first offer. Do not enter the
taxi before fixing the price! Finally, you will pay 300-500 Baht
(depending on traffic and location).
Hotel: You can book a hotel at one of the counters in the airport, but take
note of the location and the price, but this is not the best idea!
Try to book a Bangkok hotel before arriving
... over the Internet.
