- From the airport international arrivals area, once customs has finally been cleared, passengers follow the signs and go down a number of escalators to the ticket office and turnstiles. The link is connected to the local BTS skytrain service, so one can change over at certain points to another domestic route. There is an express service non stop costing 100BHT at present, but we rode the all stops at 15 BHT price. These are all introductory fares.
