Thailand's airports serve millions of travelers annually, and getting your clients from the terminal to their hotel smoothly sets the tone for their entire Thailand experience. Whether they're landing at Bangkok's massive Suvarnabhumi hub, budget-friendly Don Mueang, beach-bound Phuket, or cultural Chiang Mai, we've got reliable transfer options.

Bangkok traffic is legendary - what looks like a 20-minute drive on Google Maps can easily stretch to an hour during rush periods. That's why experienced drivers who know the alternative routes make all the difference. Our partners have been navigating Bangkok's expressways, tollways, and back streets for years, ensuring your clients get to their hotels efficiently.

For travel agents, peace of mind matters. Our B2B transfer rates include flight monitoring (crucial when dealing with Thai carriers' schedule changes), meet-and-greet with name boards at arrivals, and generous waiting times to account for immigration queues at peak hours. Whether you're booking a simple airport run or a long-distance transfer to Pattaya, rates are transparent with no hidden surcharges.

Popular Thailand Transfer Routes

Commonly booked routes with journey times and pricing guidance

Suvarnabhumi to Sukhumvit

Distance: 28-32 km
Journey Time: 30-60 minutes
Route: Airport Link Expressway or Motorway 7

Pricing:

  • Sedan: THB 900-1,100
  • MPV: THB 1,400-1,600

Most requested Bangkok transfer. Sukhumvit is the expat and tourist hub with hundreds of hotels from budget to luxury. Traffic heavily depends on time of day - morning rush hour can double journey time.

Bangkok Airport to Pattaya

Distance: 120-140 km
Journey Time: 90-120 minutes
Route: Highway 7 motorway (toll road)

Pricing:

  • Sedan: THB 2,800-3,200
  • MPV: THB 3,500-4,000

Very popular beach transfer route. Highway 7 is a smooth motorway making it comfortable. Tolls included in our rates. Book 48 hours ahead during high season (Nov-Feb) as demand is heavy.

Phuket Airport to Patong

Distance: 40-45 km
Journey Time: 45-60 minutes
Route: Highway 402 through hills

Pricing:

  • Sedan: THB 900-1,100
  • MPV: THB 1,300-1,500

Main Phuket beach transfer. Route crosses the island through scenic hills - winding roads so prone to motion sickness for some. Patong is the party beach with most nightlife and restaurants. Peak traffic 5-7 PM.

Don Mueang to City Center

Distance: 22-25 km
Journey Time: 35-55 minutes
Route: Don Mueang Tollway or Vibhavadi Road

Pricing:

  • Sedan: THB 800-1,000
  • MPV: THB 1,300-1,500

Budget airline arrivals land here. Slightly closer than Suvarnabhumi to central Bangkok. Vibhavadi Road can be congested - tollway is faster but adds cost (included in our rates).

Suvarnabhumi to Silom/Sathorn

Distance: 30-33 km
Journey Time: 35-60 minutes
Route: Expressway via Bang Na

Pricing:

  • Sedan: THB 950-1,150
  • MPV: THB 1,450-1,650

Business district with upscale hotels. Good access to BTS Skytrain. Less tourist-crowded than Sukhumvit. Journey time varies significantly by time of day - allow extra time for weekday mornings.

Chiang Mai Airport to Old City

Distance: 3-5 km
Journey Time: 10-18 minutes
Route: Mahidol Road direct

Pricing:

  • Sedan: THB 400-500
  • MPV: THB 600-700

Shortest major airport transfer in Thailand. Old City is the cultural heart with temples and charming guesthouses. Airport is tiny and efficient - clients clear arrivals quickly. Book private for comfort as taxis can be aggressive.

Thailand Transfer Tips for Travel Agents

Bangkok Traffic Reality

Bangkok consistently ranks among the world's most congested cities. Morning rush (7-10 AM) and evening rush (5-8 PM) can double journey times. Friday evenings are particularly brutal. If your clients have important meetings or tours, schedule arrivals outside these windows or build 90-120 minute buffers.

Airport Confusion

Bangkok has TWO airports 50km apart. Always confirm which airport with clients - Suvarnabhumi (BKK) for major carriers, Don Mueang (DMK) for budget airlines. Mix-ups are common and costly. Drivers can't easily switch between them due to distance. Double-check booking confirmations.

Local Contact Number

Ensure clients have a working Thai phone number or WhatsApp. Drivers will call when waiting at arrivals. SIM cards are cheap at airport (THB 300-500 with data). Include driver's contact number in your client briefing pack. Communication prevents 90% of pickup issues.

Luggage Capacity

Don't underestimate luggage space. Three passengers with three large suitcases might not fit comfortably in a sedan, especially if they've been shopping. When in doubt, upgrade to MPV. Thai roads can be bumpy - secure luggage space is essential. Better to have extra space than cramped, uncomfortable clients.

Peak Season Demand

November through February is peak season - book transfers at least 3-5 days ahead, especially for Phuket and Chiang Mai where demand spikes. Christmas/New Year and Chinese New Year can see 100% booking rates. Last-minute bookings may require premium pricing or have limited vehicle choice.

Hotel Address in Thai

Provide hotel names in English AND Thai characters to drivers. Many drivers don't read English well. Small boutique hotels or new Airbnbs can be hard to locate. Include Google Maps coordinates if possible. Saves confusion and ensures clients aren't circling neighborhoods looking for their hotel.

Frequently Asked Questions

Transfers from Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK) to central Bangkok typically take 30-60 minutes depending on traffic and destination. Sukhumvit area is 30-45 minutes, Silom/Sathorn 35-50 minutes, while Khao San Road can take up to 60 minutes. Bangkok traffic is unpredictable - always allow buffer time, especially during morning (7-10 AM) and evening (5-8 PM) rush hours. The express routes use elevated tollways which bypass much surface traffic, but even these can slow during peak periods.

Suvarnabhumi (BKK) is Bangkok's main international airport handling full-service carriers like Thai Airways, Emirates, Singapore Airlines, and most international flights. It's modern, large, and located 30km east of the city. Don Mueang (DMK) is the older airport primarily serving low-cost carriers including AirAsia, Nok Air, and Lion Air. It's 24km north of the city and more basic in facilities. They're 50km apart, so always confirm which airport your clients are using - it's one of the most common transfer booking mistakes. Transfer rates differ slightly due to distance variations.

Phuket Airport (HKT) to Patong Beach takes approximately 45-60 minutes depending on traffic. The route crosses the island via Highway 402, winding through scenic hills before descending into Patong. It's a beautiful drive but the curves can cause motion sickness for some passengers. Other beach areas vary in time: Karon Beach 50 minutes, Kata Beach 55 minutes, Bang Tao/Laguna Phuket 30 minutes, Rawai/Nai Harn 60-70 minutes. Late-night transfers (after 10 PM) are typically faster due to lighter traffic. Peak season afternoon arrivals can add 10-15 minutes.

Absolutely - Bangkok to Pattaya transfers are extremely popular for beach-bound clients. The journey from Suvarnabhumi Airport to Pattaya takes approximately 90-120 minutes via Highway 7 motorway, a well-maintained toll road making for smooth travel. Private sedan rates start around THB 2,800-3,200 for direct service to your Pattaya hotel. This route is heavily booked, especially during high season (November-February) and long weekends, so confirm availability at least 48-72 hours ahead. The motorway tolls are included in our quoted rates, so no surprises.

Child seats are available for private transfers upon request at booking. While Thailand doesn't strictly enforce child seat laws like Singapore or Western countries, we recommend them for safety, especially for longer transfers like Bangkok-Pattaya or Phuket airport routes. Specify child ages when booking so we can provide appropriate seats: infant seats (0-1 year), toddler seats (1-4 years), or booster seats (4-7 years). Child seats typically add THB 200-300 per seat to the transfer rate. Request them at the time of booking to ensure availability.

All our Thailand transfers include comprehensive flight monitoring - drivers track your client's actual arrival time in real-time and adjust pickup accordingly. Standard waiting time is generous: 90 minutes from actual landing time for international flights, 60 minutes for domestic. This covers immigration queues (which can be lengthy at Bangkok during peak arrivals), baggage claim, and customs. If delays exceed this waiting time, inform our operations team as soon as possible and we'll coordinate with the driver. Extended waiting beyond the included time may incur hourly charges (typically THB 200-300 per hour), but we always prioritize ensuring your clients are picked up safely.
