Popular with single travellers for being hassle free and their relative cheapness, the airport bus goes from Suvarnabhumi on 4 seperate routes into the main tourist areas of central Bangkok. At 150B a person though, it's a 50% increase on the charge from the previous Don Muang airport and it's only likely to be better value than a taxi if you're travelling alone. In in a group of two or more a taxi is going to be quicker, more comfortable, more direct and either cheaper or rougly equivalent in price - so no contest really. The airport buses run from approximately 5am to midnight.
