Tips on Taking the A2 Bus
The Bus A2 route was previously passing BTS Mo Chit station and MRT Chatuchak Park Station, just like the A1 bus. However, the route was changed recently, and now it goes to the Victory Monument area more directly. You can still use this bus to reach BTS SkyTrain as it takes you to the BTS Victory Monument Station, which is on the same line as BTS Mo Chit Station but is more near to the city center.
Boarding the A2 bus at Don Muang Airport might not be convenient for passengers with children and big luggage, as the luggage space inside buses is limited. The buses on the A2 route also tend to get crowded during rush hour, so you might need to stand all the way to your destination. The journey can take much more than 30 minutes, as the length of it depends on the time of the day and traffic conditions.
Another alternative to the Bangkok A2 Bus is the recently opened SRT Red Line commuter train that lets you reach the MRT network from Don Muang Airport a bit faster.
