Описание: Suvarnabhumi BKK International Airport Arrivals.
Hello, everyone! Welcome back to our channel! Today, we have an exciting video for all you travelers out there. If you're planning a trip to the Bangkok in Thailand, we have got you covered! In this video, we will be providing a comprehensive arrival guide to ensure a smooth and hassle-free experience at one of the most stunning airports in the world.

The arrivals process is the same as in any international airport. The signage is good – in English, Thai and Chinese, so you probably won’t get lost. The process is straightforward.

Assistance for Elderly / Disabled passengers.
As mentioned above, it’s a large terminal. There are moving walkways to help speed you to Immigration. But if you are travelling with someone elderly or who has difficulty walking, make sure your airline know you need assistance when you land in Bangkok, and they’ll have an electric golf cart waiting.

Toilets.
If you need to go to the toilet, you’ll find plenty during the long walk to Immigration. There are often long queues at Immigration, so pee first. There’s no point holding it in and running to Immigration only to find you’ve a 15 minuteS queue.

Queuing at Suvarnabhumi immigration.
Once you reach Immigration you’ll see that there are separate queuing areas for Thais and Foreigners. The Thai queues will have 2-3 people waiting and a handful of smiley, chilled Immigration officers waving people through. The Foreign counters will often have hundreds of people waiting and stressed officers who probably won’t cheerily welcome you to the Land of Smiles.

As you had expect, Baggage Claim at Suvarnabhumi Airport is directly behind the Immigration counters. Check your carousel number on one of the large overhead screens and then go and get your bag. You’ll also find more Duty Free shopping in the Baggage Claim area.

Duty Free Allowance in Thailand.
If you want to avoid any potential problems with customs officers, it’s worth remembering that the official limits .

Personal belongings in reasonable quantity, which are worth no more than 20,000 Baht in total and are not prohibited or restricted goods or food. No more than 200 cigarettes or 250g of tobacco or 250g of all types combined. No more than 1 litre of alcoholic beverage.

In reality, virtually every tourist has more than 20,000 Baht worth of personal belongings on them. Which makes a bit of a nonsense of the outdated law. So it’s ignored. The customs officers are mainly interested in booze and cigarettes.

Where to buy a SIM card at BKK Airport?
Once you are through Customs you will enter the bustling Arrivals area. If you need a SIM card then you’ll see booths from the three networks True, AIS and DTAC. It doesn’t matter which SIM you buy, all have 4G coverage, all have ‘Tourist SIMs‘ with a package of data, local and cheap international calls. These can be topped up at virtually any mini-mart in Thailand. Prices start from around 299 Baht for 1 week package.

Buses from Suvarnabhumi Airport to central Bangkok.
It’s a little more expensive that taking the train into the centre of town but a lot less hassle if you are staying around the Khao San area of Bangkok. You’ll only have a short walk to your hotel.

You can also take a public bus from the Airport Transportation Terminal into Bangkok. But these mostly go to the suburbs where you’re unlikely to want to go. But if you’re on a tight budget then there are a couple that might be of use if you are staying in the city centre:

How to take a Taxi from Bangkok Airport to a hotel in the city centre?
Just follow the ‘Public Taxi’ signs from Arrivals down to Level 1 and you’ll see the taxi rank outside Entrances 4 – 6. The old system of queuing and having a member of staff write down where you are staying on a piece of paper which you then give to the driver has gone. It has been replaced by a much faster, more modern automatic ‘Taxi kiosks’ now in use.

Taking the train into Bangkok – Airport Rail Link.

If you are travelling light and staying on or near a skytrain or subway station or just want to avoid the hassle of dealing with a taxi driver, then this is a very good service. Train would be the good option to transfer from airport to the Bangkok city. For that you would require to use Airport Rail link (Red Line) from Airport to Phaya Thai station and then move to BTS line and straight to the Bangkok city (Green Line).
