Bro Muthuteo,
Very comprehensive compilation indeed. Very handy information to newbies going to cheong in Bangkok.
BTW, just to add: The railway link to and fro Shurvannabhumi airport was opened to the public end August 2010. It links directly from BTS station (Phaya Thai) to BKK airport. Very convenient and if you are checking into hotels next to BTS stations (like Nana and Asoke), then good lor. The offer fare is just 15 bahts (yes, correct...fifteen bahts! which is around RM 1.60) one way for the entire 37 km trip. The fare will be raised after 2010. You can take the train inside the airport terminal and no need to go up and down and cross roads to take the train direct to Phaya Thai BTS station. No need to take taxis to and fro Bangkok downtown to Airport.
