These bus number changes makes me crazy
From Suvarnabhumi there is a City Bus 552 that leaves from their bus terminal. The price is 35 baht. Only vans available late at night with no luggage room. But Airport Rail Link may be better because it connects with Skytrain and with the subway.

Meter taxi sign up desk on first floor. Most taxi rides to hotels in Bangkok around 350 baht using the meter. Have small bills and change available. You are responsible for toll charges, maybe 70 baht. Toll charges posted. Same price for 1 person or for 4 pax.

Most meter taxis to hotels in Bangkok come to around 350 baht - give or take 50 baht. This includes the meter fare, any toll charges you pay (maybe 70 baht for 2) and the surcharge of 50 baht paid at the hotel. Meter starts at 35 baht - check it! From the airport taxis are regulated and quite safe. You do not pay for the taxi ride until you get to the hotel but you do pay any toll charges so have small bills for paying the driver. In the city wave a moving taxi over and tell the driver to use the meter - if he agrees (most will) then get in. In front of an expensive hotel move down the street a bit. Wave a moving taxi over and ignore parked taxis. Parked taxis want to bargain the fare and you pay more! Tuk-tuks cost more than meter taxis.
Go to Meter Taxi (Public Taxi) sign up desk, first floor. Any color taxi. Desk representative will tell the driver in Thai where to go. Have small bills to pay taxi driver. Roughly the price will be around 350 baht which includes possibly 2 tolls that you pay, meter fare to hotel and 50 baht surcharge. No surcharge for return to airport by taxi. Only pay the meter fare in Bangkok and the ride is cheaper. Landmark is an expensive hotel. Avoid parked taxi cabs there because they may not use the meter because you are rich. Walk to the curb and wave a moving taxi over and tell driver to use the meter. Meter starts at 35 baht. Skytrain station near your hotel very cheap and efficient.
What time do you arrive Bangkok? Meter taxi to Hualamphong maybe 1 hour for everyone in the taxi in traffic around 340-400 baht - have small bills available to pay driver. Or, Airport Rail Link to Makkasan, Subway direct to Hualamphong. One person this way maybe 80 baht. Google Airport Rail Link.
