vans to the airport

Have you ever wondered how the cleaning staff get to the airport? Surely they can't afford to pay over 300 baht to get to a job that pays 200 baht! So if you travel light like I do, do like the locals do and take a van. If you are arriving at the airport, go to the ground floor and turn left. At the end is a secret bus stop (secret in that there is no English). A free yellow bus will come and take you to the bus/van terminal. From there you can take an air-conditioned bus or van to every part of Bangkok for about 35 baht. If you want to go to the airport, a quick way is to catch a van from the Victory Monument (40 baht) across the street from McDonald's. It goes on the expressway and takes about 30 minutes. If you are encumbered with luggage and companions, a taxi makes more sense, but for singles with hand luggage, it's the only way to go!

lol, so secret that there is no english, are you sure this is the way to go? The bus might take you to some where else instead.

Can’t confirm this but read where there is a van service from BTS SkyTrain On Nut station to Suvarnabhumi. Trip starts at the parking lot of Lotus-Tesco. Costs 50 THB for 45-minute ride.

Apparently the van stops at the ground floor of the airport terminal, so may not be convenient for travellers with big/heavy bags.
