Ban Phe to Suvarnabhumi Airport Distance
The road from the Ban Phe piers to Suvarnabhumi Airport is 177 km, about 2 h 05 min. It follows the coast to Rayong and then the eastern motorway, which brings the car to the airport from the east without entering the central city.
The route
From the pier the car goes through Ban Phe town, joins the coast road to Rayong and takes the motorway north-west. The motorway has several lanes and a steady speed, with a toll that the driver pays. The airport lies just off the eastern ring of Bangkok.
The distance of 177 km is the road distance to the departures level.
Where the time goes
The first 20 minutes are on the coast road. The next 90 are on the motorway. The final 15 are around the airport, where roads feed several terminals and queues form in the evening.
On a weekday between 16:00 and 19:00 the final stretch can be slow. A Sunday evening adds the weekend traffic back to the city.
Working out the pick-up
Start from the check-in. For an international flight the airline asks you to arrive three hours ahead. Add 2 h 05 min, then the transfer from the boat to the car, then the ferry crossing of 30 to 40 minutes. A 20:00 flight means leaving the island around midday.
A speedboat saves 15 to 25 minutes, at 1,000 to 2,000 THB per boat.
