🌏 Your Ultimate Insider’s Guide to Suvarnabhumi Airport! 🌏
Navigating Bangkok’s Suvarnabhumi Airport like a pro is easier than you think! As a 9-year Bangkok veteran, I’ll show you everything you need to know to make your time at the airport smooth and stress-free.
In this video, I cover:
✅ Where to get a SIM card to stay connected in Thailand.
✅ Where to eat for authentic Thai flavours at Magic Food Point on Floor 1 and Thai street food in the basement.
✅ The best money exchange options, including SuperRich and Happy Rich, for unbeatable rates.
✅ Where to grab a specialty coffee to recharge.
✅ Transport options to the city, including the Airport Rail Link and a pro tip for skipping the taxi queue.
💡 Pro Tip: By heading to the basement for money exchange, you can get up to 2 extra baht per dollar compared to upstairs counters—perfect for saving on your trip!
🍽️ Where We Ate
• Magic Food Point (Floor 1): Affordable and authentic Thai dishes in a food court setting.
• Basement Thai Street Food: Spicy Isan dishes like som tam and grilled meats.
💸 Money Exchange
For the best rates, skip the counters upstairs and head to the basement near the train station.
• SuperRich and Happy Rich offer excellent rates—better than the main hall!
🚗 Transport Options
• Airport Rail Link (ARL): Fast, affordable, and traffic-free.
• Official Taxi Queue on Level 1: Get a ticketed taxi with a 50-baht surcharge.
• Pro Tip: Head to Level 4 (Departures) to grab a taxi that’s just dropped someone off—no queue, no hassle!

My name’s Gary and I’ve been living in Bangkok for the past five plus years and travelling Thailand for over ten. I’m obsessed with Thai street food and it’s that obsession that led me to start this YouTube channel. I want to share my favourite hidden spots in Bangkok and the rest of Thailand so you can fall in love with authentic, local Thai food as much as I have!
If you love seeing off the beaten path, non-touristy, local life and authentic local life in Bangkok and Thailand then this is the channel for you. If go go bars on the Sukhumvit Road are more your thing (I’m not judging) then maybe not!
