  • Directions

    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 upSeize the world before it seizes You.We look forward to greeting you.SOI1GUESTHOUSE� 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. ;pPS. 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)A heads up---IF THE DRIVER SAYS HE CANNOT FIND US...Don't believe him!! Our location is beside the biggest international hospital in Bangkok. He only wants to take you somewhere else that he gets a commision from. GET out without paying and get another taxi. offer to talk to the police (it won't happen) if he gets upset. He may amazingly enough find us at that point. if the fare is more than 350 baht come to reception before paying him. I will come down and sort his crooked butt out!! there's not much percentage that this will happen but if it does you now know how to handle it.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...PSSt Take a metered taxiTHIS IS A COPY OF THE CONFIRMATION LETTER YOU WILL RECIEVE FROM US>G�day,Thanks for your booking.

Still� let us know you are all right and we won�t be concerned* (Your Booking site will have their cost on your card though = 10% and their service fee if applicable.) We feel we are the best located Hostel / Guesthouse in Bangkok, Compare our easy Accessible location from the airport and our short walking distance to the major modes of cheap transportation ( BTS, Sky train , Canals, Subway and with the best hospital in Thailand one block ( Bumrungrad) from us, taxis are always about no matter the AM or PM) Compare.. You will see that the savings per day in transportation to and from 'Soi 1 guesthouse� while visiting Bangkok, will pay for your nights stay here.Please take the time to Read the information on the walls as well as ask if you have questions.The following might be of some help in getting here. It probably will save you the price of your room.Warning Beware of the Nice people just as you enter the public part of the airport offering you a TAXI!!!!! You'd be nice too if you were about to be given 750-1000+ baht for a 300-350 baht service. Let us tell you what we do in any major Airport, specifically here in Bangkok. From Suvarnabhumi International Airport,Here is our biggest Tip and you will thank me for the information when you see how they get 1000+ Baht from the uninformed�. 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 METER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (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. About 300-350 Baht (50 Baht service fee, 2 tolls 25+45, and about 200 on meter) is the norm. 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 you 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 that is on the corner. We have a huge Plate glass window. Big Sign (Soi 1 Guesthouse) . look up. We recommend taking a taxi, definitely if 2 or more persons. Easy, Air con, door to door, no lugging your gear. If you decide to use the bus......If you arrive at the new airport your cheapest way to get here would be the 552 bus to Sukhumvit Soi 1. 150 baht, but Longer time about an hour+. If your arriving Bangkok some other way, (Boat, train, bus, foot.) Get to the Sky train from there go to the Phloen Chit stop (E2). Get off walk down steps, at bottom of steps walk east, away from city, cross railroad tracks take the first street on your left. This street is called Soi 1. Walk down Soi 1 for about 300 meters and we are on the right side just before the 7-11. If you choose a cab Just INSIST on them using the meter.

We are about 300 meters up Sukhumvit Soi 1 on right just in before the 7-11 (7-11 is on the corner). Look for the big plate glass window right side of road before 7-11.
