Bangkok → Bangkok Old Town (Grand Palace and Khao San): key facts

Getting from Bangkok Airport (BKK) to Bangkok Old Town (Grand Palace and Khao San) takes about 35 min by car on an empty road (35–45 min in heavy traffic) over 37 km via 7. Our private transfer costs €40 for a car with 1–3 passengers or €60 for a van with 4–8 — the vehicle price you see is the price you pay at booking.

On arrival: The driver waits in the public arrivals area on Level 2 of the main passenger terminal, after passport control, baggage reclaim and customs, holding a sign with your name. If the flight is late, the driver adjusts to the real landing time; 60 minutes of waiting are included and help with the luggage is part of the service.

The Old Town lies on Rattanakosin Island, on the eastern bank of the Chao Phraya River, about 37 km west of Suvarnabhumi. The drive crosses the whole city on the elevated expressways before leaving them near Yommarat or Phan Fa and continuing on Ratchadamnoen Avenue, the broad boulevard past the Democracy Monument. The streets inside the old quarter are narrow and often congested, especially around the Grand Palace when tour coaches arrive in the morning.

Rattanakosin is the historic royal district of Bangkok. The Grand Palace with Wat Phra Kaew and Wat Pho stand near the river, and Wat Arun faces them on the opposite bank, reached by a short ferry from Tha Tien pier. Sanam Luang, the large royal field, lies north of the palace, and Banglamphu with Khao San Road and Rambuttri Alley is a walk further north. Khao San Road itself is pedestrian in the evenings, so cars stop on the surrounding streets.

Public transport instead: BMTA bus S1 from Main passenger terminal, Level 1, Gate 7 to Khao San Road (Sanam Luang), 06:00-20:00 (AOT).
