Travel Directions
Suvarnabhumi Airport
Local (Bangkok) public buses to/from Suvarnabhumi charge a flat 35 baht. To take a public bus, you must first take a free shuttle bus ride (from the outside 2nd floor) to the separate terminal. The lines are:
549: Suvarnabhumi-Bangkapi
550: Suvarnabhumi-Happy Land
551: Suvarnabhumi-Victory Monument (BTS)
552: Suvarnabhumi-On Nut (BTS)-Klong Toei
552A: Suvarnabhumi - Sam Rong
553: Suvarnabhumi-Samut Phrakan
554: Suvarnabhumi-Don Muang Airport
555: Suvarnabhumi-Rangsit (Expressway)
556: Suvarnabhumi-Southern Bus Terminal
557: merged with 558
558: Suvarnabhumi-Central Rama II-Wong Wien Yai
559: Suvarnabhumi-Rangsit (Outer Ring Road)
Limousine taxis (which charge by distance, e.g. around 800 baht to central Sukhumvit) can be reserved at the limousine hire counter on the 2nd floor (just outside Arrivals), and a limited number of ordinary metered taxis are available outside the exit on the 1st floor (take the escalator downstairs). If there is a huge taxi queue, consider taking a free shuttle bus to the satellite terminal, which has more taxis. There is a 50 baht surcharge on the meter, meaning that trips to the city will cost 300-400 baht (plus 65 baht highway tolls) and take 40-60 minutes depending on traffic.
There is also a stop outside the 1st floor exit for airport express buses [3], which charge a flat 150 baht and operate hourly until midnight, covering four routes, each taking about 60 to 90 minutes:
AE1: Suvarnabhumi-Silom
AE2: Suvarnabhumi-Khao San Road
AE3: Suvarnabhumi-Sukhumvit
AE4: Suvarnahhumi-Victory Monument-Hua Lamphong (train station)

Koh Tao (Via Koh Samui)
The quickest way to Koh Tao is by way of Bangkok Airways who fly direct from Bangkok, Krabi, Phuket, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur and a number of other destinations.
Upon arrival at Koh Samui, one can arrange transfer to Koh Tao through the airport information desk. Koh Tao can only be reached by boat as there is no airport on Koh Tao itself. We recommend the 1 hour voyage by either the Lomprayah Catamaran or the Seatran Discovery which leave twice daily for Koh Tao. There are other options available via other boats, but these are by far the fastest and best ways to reach Koh Tao. Regardless of which option you choose you should be aware that the last boat leaving Koh Samui for Koh Tao is 12 noon.
The last catamaran leaving Koh Tao for Samui is at 3pm daily, so any onward flight bookings/reservations should ideally be scheduled for after 6pm to allow for any unforeseen delays. Transfers from the piers to the airport are readily available for minimal sums and in some cases included in the catamaran pricelist. Whatever you prefer, you can book directly through the above links online or you can book all your transfers through Coral Grand Resort.
Pattaya
The easiest and most cost affective way to Pattaya is to catch an air conditioner bus from the Ekkamai Bus Terminal. Busses start from 6:00 am upto 11:00 pm ticket cost about 120 Baht. For Ekkamai Bus Terminal you can take the BTS (sky train) and get down at Ekkamai Station on Sukhumvit Road.
