Driving from Bangkok Airport

Leaving Suvarnabhumi Airport, the Motorway 7 and the elevated expressways feed straight into the city and east toward Chonburi and Pattaya. Thailand drives on the left and an International Driving Permit is required. Bangkok traffic is dense and the expressways use cash or Easy Pass tolls, so keep coins and small notes handy.

Useful rules

  • Drive on the left; International Driving Permit required with your licence
  • Speed: up to 120 km/h on motorways, 50-80 km/h in the city
  • Seatbelts compulsory; strict 0.5 mg drink-driving limit
  • Expressway tolls are cash or Easy Pass; avoid rush hour if you can

Popular drives

From Bangkok Airport, favourite trips run east to Pattaya and the beaches of Rayong, south-west to Hua Hin, and north to the temples of Ayutthaya, all within two hours. A car also makes the floating markets and Khao Yai National Park easy day trips that public transport handles poorly.

Questions about car rental at Bangkok Airport

Can I rent a car without deposit at Bangkok Airport?

Should I rent at Suvarnabhumi or Don Mueang?
