Sukhumvit Soi 1Backpackers Hostel in Bangkok, Thailand
220/7 Sukhumvit soi 1,
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 up
Seize the world before it
seizes You.
We look forward to
greeting you.

• 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. Hiway 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. ;p
PS. 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!!!

SO fast re-cap. Bus 522.
to Sky train (station E9)
