Getting to Bangkok & Beyond

The major Bangkok entry point is Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK).

Here’s some quick info getting from BKK to the Pathum Wan district (where AWA is located):

• Hotel limousine service: 1,500-2,000 THB
• Grab car (Southeast Asian Uber): ~700-800 THB

Your two best options for travel in and around Bangkok are the BTS skytrain and Grab.

• No meter arguments

If you prefer walking:

• Use elevated walkways when possible
• centralwOrld connects to neighboring malls via sky bridges
