If you are seeking a way to get around in Bangkok, especially the Suvarnabhumi neighborhood, you need to find a rental car agency that will meet your needs. While you can depend on public transportation, it is better to find a rental car so you can drive around and check out the entire Bangkok area.
Landing at the Suvarnabhumi Airport and Renting a Car
You can easily get a Suvarnabhumi Bangkok car rental at the Suvarnabhumi Airport in Bangkok. In fact, you can find several car rental agencies at this location. You can get a car for hire for as little as $5.00 per day. To learn more about rentals, check out the features of the car that you wish to rent. Does it have enough room? Do you need certain amenities, such as GPS?
You can go online and indicate where you wish to pick up the car and at what time. For example, you can indicate the pickup date, the time of pickup, and when you plan to return the car (the drop-off date and time). Make sure that you fill the car with gas before you return it. Otherwise, you will have to pay for the fuel that you did not replenish.
By going online to get a rental car, you can compare rates and find reservations easily and quickly. If you navigate a site that contains airport information, you can quickly determine where you can pick up your car when you get off your plane.
If you are planning on landing at the Suvarnabhumi Airport, you will need to know how to pronounce the airport’s name in English. It is pronounced Su-Wan-Na-Proom, which is much easier than the spelling appears to anyone who speaks English. The name was selected by HM King Bhumibol Adulyadej and means “golden land.” This name is a traditional moniker for the area of Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, and Burma.
Where the Suvarnabhumi Airport Is Located
The airport where you will pick up your rental car is situated in Racha Thewa, or in the Bang Phli district of Samut Prakan province. This province is located directly east of Bangkok. The airport operates 24 hours a day so you can pick up your rental car just about any time.
Before you pick up your rental car, you might want to stop by a Thai restaurant for a meal. You can quickly get accustomed to the Thai cuisine in Suvarnabhumi. For example, one of the eateries, the Mango Tree, offers dishes such as pad Thai noodles, noodle soup with duck, and fried prawn complete with tamarind sauce. You can also find a sports bar and café nearby as well as several fast food outlets such as Dairy Queen and a Siamese chain known as the Pizza Company.
You can also find places that offer Chinese dishes and sandwiches. However, if you want to eat Thai food in Suvarnabhumi, it is better to begin with a place such as the Mango Tree. Wherever you go in the Suvarnabhumi, you will be fascinated by the attractions and sites. Make sure that you have a rental car booked so you can get more out of your trip.
