The S1 bus is a reliable and affordable option for travelers heading from Khao San Road to Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK) or from the main International Airport (Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK)) to Khao San. It offers a direct connection, making it an excellent alternative to taxis or private transfers, including so popular in Thailand Grab.
