It is located only 25 km east of Bangkok but how can we get to downtown Bangkok from Suvarnabhumi Airport?

 

By Taxi 

 

The easiest way to get to Bangkok is by metered taxi, available 24 hours.  After you are out of immigration, go down to Level 1 near Entrance 3, 4, 7, and 8 where all taxi counters are.  The trip to the city will cost 300-400 baht (plus expressway tolls of around 75 - 100 baht and 50 baht airport surcharge) and will take around 30-40 min. depending on traffic.
