One of the best kept secrets at Bangkok’s Don Muang Airport is the airport bus taking visitors into Bangkok. So commented a recent article in the Bangkok Post. The Airport Bus is fast, efficient, well run, easy to use, cheap, comfortable, air conditioned with space for luggage. Quite a nice way to be welcomed to Bangkok. There are 3 different routes which serve the main visitor areas of Bangkok(Khao San Road, Silom Road, Patpong, Sukhumvit, Pratunam). Bus fare is 70baht. Buses depart every 30 minutes from 5am to past midnight(depending on the route). The buses pick up from south end terminal 1, south end terminal 2 and north end domestic terminal, then head into town. Just look for the airport bus sign. Near by there’ll be some plastic chairs and a conductor in blue pants/white shirt waiting to make her next run who you can ask when the next bus is coming. Just hop on the bus, the conductor will come by to collect your fare/make change after the pick up at the Domestic Terminal. The Airport Bus stops at regular bus stops marked with the airport bus sign. If you ask the driver nicely, he’ll drop you off anywhere along the route. Just reverse the procedure going back to the airport. Even if the bus can’t drop you exactly where you’re going, it’ll probably be close enough to walk or take a taxi for 35baht.2
There is a shuttle that can run you back and forth between the terminals. It's not that long of a walk anyway.

I have been to Bankok 3 times till now, the first time I got ripped off by using a Limo, The second time took a returning Cab... The third time I took the BUS.4
Okay, I'll post one of those "you must have been unlucky" comments:7
The airport bus is promoted on the maps they give tourists when you arrive at the airport, so not a secret. But of course the bus is also affected by the traffic. So I decided to take the train, in order to avoid traffic jams.8
You can go to the Cambodian border for less than 100 baht
