Here is our biggest Tip. Please Use it.

Upon arrival at airport get bags, Walk right past the NICE people offering you a taxi for…. way to much.. Then go to ‘Departures’ (not arrivals were you would normally be) and grab a Taxi as he is letting off a fare. Faster than waiting in line, and driver is eager to get a fast fare from nowhere, the meter is your best way, INSIST on it. 300-350 is the norm. (This is another little trick of many that can make your experience here so much easier and save you more than a nights rent. ) If there are two or more of you take a taxi as the cost will be close to 2 on the bus. Again you must insist that they use a meter. Do not pay over 400 baht. If you do I will refer you to this page that you will probably have printed out in your hand at the time.

The street is also named 'Soi 1' we are about 300 meters up Sukhumvit Soi 1 on right just in BEFORE the 7-11. Big Plate Glass window with blue sign above it ( See pic) and a Big Sign (Soi 1 Guesthouse) look up

Seize the world before it seizes You.
We look forward to greeting you.

• We never take the bus, Too many stops not the fun way. A/C taxi door to door insist on meter and don't pay over 400 baht. some get here for less than 300 baht. Highway all the way so no in town traffic to worry about.
• Thanks and we hope to greet you soon, and if you read all this, well done. Come and get a free mangosteen (it’s a fruit) when you arrive, just by saying you did read it all. There will be a test. ;p

PS. Tell the bus/taxi driver 'Sook-Um-vit Soi noong' = Sukhumvit Soi 1, (hold one index finger up as you say it) and insist on meter being on!!!
******************************************************************
WE are suggesting that you take
a taxi .will cost about 300-350 baht (Approx 9$ US) Insist on Meter !! and will be about 30 minutes(can be much longer)

If you Can read Thai script on your computer, the below Thai script would be Handy to show the Taxi Driver.

ที่อยู่ ของ Soi 1 Guesthouse ตั้งอยู่ในสุขุมวิท ซอย 1 บ้านเลขที่220/7 จะอยู่ติดกับ เซเว่น อีเลเว่น ตรงซอยสุขุมวิท1/1 หลังโรงพยาบาลบำรุงราช ถ้าหากมาจากโรงพยาบาลบำรุงราชด้านหน้า ให้ทะลุมาด้านหลังจะเจอสุขุมวิทซอย 1 ขับมาทางซ้ายมือจะเห็น เซเว่นอีเลเว่น จอดหน้าเซเว่นอีเลเว่นเลยครับ จะอยู่ติด ๆ กันข้าง ๆ

For the Bus...(Which does not use the freeway and makes many stops, can take 4ever Dave says take a taxi.)
the # 552 Bus to the Sky trains eastern most station called 'ON NUT' (E9) Board the sky train and take it to 'Phloen Chit' (E2) Station come down from Sky train cross the Railroad tracks (1/2 block) take the first left, road name SOI 1, and we are 200 meters down on the right of soi 1. Just before the 7-11.
SO fast re-cap. Bus 522. to Sky train (station E9) get off at station E2 walk back 1/2 block, take 1st road on left and we are down 200 meters on right. You’ll be carrying your gear about 300 meters total. This will be the cheapest way and the way you will return to airport.
It is not so fun...
