Isabellla · #1 26-10-2006, 22:08

Would like to know how far and how long will I take to reach new airport to Banyan Tree and vice-versa?
Thanks

It's half way to Patong, so I would say 20 minutes, and 20 kms.

Never stayed there, but I have been to the golf course. Can't afford 25,000 baht per night....

I meant Banyan Tree (Bangkok) to new airport -Suvarnabhumi Airport

time of day?...big factor in Bangkok.

You can go via the Expressway getting on near rama 3.... left out of the Banyan tree, down Soi Suan Plu, onto Nang Linchee road onto the expressway going to the port, up the outer ring road and into Suwarnabhumi.

Maybe not the most direct route, but mainly highway and would be quickest. Maybe 35 minutes without much traffic.

We have a flight at 21h30 so would like to know what time should be better to leave banyan tree to arrive in time at the new airport?

Tell reception what time your flight is and let them arrange transport for you, they would have the best idea of travel time.

Personally, I'd leave at 18:15, you may well be early....but the potential for a traffic snarl at that time is covered. 18:00 if you are the nervous type.

Nice hotel.....enjoy

about 40 mins drive all on expressways,around 350 baht.

Hi Aussie
Where do you usually stay in Bangkok?
Which hotel do you recommend in BKK for a night only since we will have an early flight at 8h30?
We would like to go to Banyan Tree(Vertigo) or Dome (Sirocco) for photos and after for shopping at Suam Lung Night Bazar.

aussie dollar · #10 29-10-2006, 16:36

banyan 10 min walk to Night Bazar(worth a look) its not cheap to stay there but 5 star.
banyan is in an area with no shops etc.
Vertigo has bar area on open rooftop really is worth a look.

I stayed at swiss lodge (breakfast from 6am)at patpong good hotel but small and 5 doors along is the exchange irish pub has a good band on friday and sat nights.
10mins ride to night bazar or 20mins using subway.

What do you think about staying near the new airport and spending night of instance at Novotel Bangna and going at night to Vertigo and shopping?
COz it's too early and need to get a taxi

have stayed at novotel at the new airport pretty good had a few small problems but had just opened.
either idea would work wont have a problem getting taxi.
if staying in town would mean 6-630am taxi
as they say in LOS up to you.

HI
That means that we need to wake up at 5am (or even go straigth without sleeping

if we choose to stay in town.
How far is the Novotel to Banyan Tree and the Novotel to Airport? Which is the near BTS where Novotel is located?

aussie dollar · #14 29-10-2006, 17:03

Novotel is at the new airport 100m from airport exits.
40 min taxi trip each way to most of bangkok city centre

Isabellla · #15 29-10-2006, 17:24

I'm refering the Novotel Bangna not the one right next to the airport since this one is very expensive for one day only
