The short version — what is included and what is charged
| Trip | Cost | Terms |
|---|---|---|
| Drop-off, hotel to airport | Included in the 1,190 THB package | One trip per stay, booked ahead |
| Pickup, airport to hotel | Charged | Quoted per trip |
| A second drop-off | Charged | Priced per trip |
| Drop-off on another room rate | Charged | Priced per trip |
There is no fixed hourly shuttle. Every trip is arranged against a guest's flight, so it has to be booked in advance with a flight number.
Transfers run both ways, by appointment
Two things decide whether a hotel transfer is actually useful to you: which direction it runs, and whether it fits your flight. Here is how ours works.
Pick-up from the airport
We collect guests from Suvarnabhumi Airport. This is a paid service and the price is agreed for each trip rather than fixed on a price list, because it depends on when you land, how many people are travelling and how much luggage comes with you.
Give us the flight number when you book. That lets us track the arrival and adjust if the flight shifts, which matters more than the scheduled time — an aircraft that lands forty minutes late still needs a car waiting.
Drop-off to the airport
The drop-off is included at no extra charge with the 1,190 THB per night room package, which covers a standard king-size room or a twin room. Guests on other rates can still book the drop-off; it is quoted per trip in the same way as the pick-up.
For departures we work backwards from your check-in time at the airport rather than from the flight time, and we allow for traffic on Bangna-Trad Road, which is heavier on weekday mornings than the distance alone suggests.
Why there is no fixed timetable
Some hotels in this area run a van on set departures every hour. That works well if your flight happens to line up with it, and badly if it does not — you either wait or you pay for a taxi anyway.
We schedule each trip individually instead. The trade-off is that a transfer has to be booked ahead rather than caught on the spot, so guests arriving without notice should plan to use the airport taxi rank described below.
How to book a transfer
Step 1 — Tell us the flight, not just the time
Send the flight number and the date. For arrivals we also need the terminal you land at; for departures, the time you want to leave the hotel or the time you need to be at the airport.
Step 2 — Tell us the party size
Number of adults, number of children, and how many large suitcases. Families travelling with a stroller or a car seat should say so, because that changes which vehicle is sent.
Step 3 — Confirm the price for a paid transfer
For the pick-up, or for a drop-off outside the 1,190 THB package, we will confirm the price before the day. Nothing is charged at the roadside.
Step 4 — Keep the phone number with you
Save +66-86-359-9641 and LINE @hermahotel on your phone before you fly. If your flight is delayed or you clear immigration far earlier than expected, one message solves it.
Book the transfer at the same time as the room rather than after arrival. Cars are scheduled per booking, so a last-minute request may not be possible even when rooms are available.
If you would rather take a taxi
Suvarnabhumi runs an official public taxi service, and for guests arriving without a pre-booked transfer it is the straightforward option.
The counter and the automatic ticket machines are in the Passenger Terminal on Floor 1, between Gate 4 and Gate 7, open 24 hours. Fares are metered, with a 50 THB airport surcharge added under a Ministry of Transport announcement, and expressway tolls paid separately by the passenger for whichever route is taken.
When you get in, give the driver the hotel name together with the sub-district and district — Bang Chalong, Bang Phli, Samut Prakan. Soi names repeat across this area, so showing the Thai address on your phone avoids a detour.
Transfer or taxi — which suits your trip
| Hotel transfer | Airport taxi | |
|---|---|---|
| Booking | Required, in advance | None, join the queue |
| Price known beforehand | Yes, confirmed when booking | No — meter + 50 THB + tolls |
| Waiting on arrival | Car is there for your flight | Queue length varies by hour |
| Child seat, extra luggage | Tell us in advance | Not available |
| Late-night arrival | Works if booked | Rank runs 24 hours |
Timing advice
Landing late at night
Reception at Herma Hotel is open 24 hours, so a late arrival can check in whenever the flight gets in. What matters is telling us the flight beforehand if you want the car waiting — otherwise the airport taxi rank on Floor 1 runs through the night.
Leaving on an early flight
Allow more time than the 18 km suggests. Bangna-Trad Road is busiest on weekday mornings, and airline check-in cut-offs are unforgiving. When you book the drop-off, tell us the flight and we will work the departure time back from it.
Travelling with young children
Children change the calculation more than luggage does. A pre-booked car means no queue with a tired child at midnight, and it lets us send a vehicle that fits a stroller. Tell us ages and party size when booking.

Frequently asked questions
Does Herma Hotel pick up from Suvarnabhumi Airport?
Yes. Transfers run in both directions. The pick-up from the airport is a paid service and the price is agreed for each trip, because it depends on your arrival time and the number of passengers and bags. Call +66-86-359-9641 or message LINE @hermahotel with your flight details to arrange it.
Is the drop-off to the airport really free?
It is included at no extra charge with the 1,190 THB per night room package, which covers a standard king-size or twin room. Outside that package the drop-off is quoted per trip like the pick-up.
Is there a fixed shuttle timetable?
No. Every transfer is arranged individually around your flight rather than departing at set hours. That suits flights landing or leaving at awkward times, but it does mean the trip has to be booked in advance rather than turning up and waiting.
How far in advance should I book the transfer?
Book as early as you can, ideally when you reserve the room, and send the flight number with it. A same-day request may still be possible but cannot be guaranteed, since the car is scheduled per booking.
How far is the hotel from Suvarnabhumi Airport?
18 km. The hotel is at 30/13 Moo 7, Soi Sukkeaw, Bangna Trad KM-17, Bang Chalong, Bang Phli, Samut Prakan 10540. Journey time depends far more on traffic on Bangna-Trad Road than on the distance itself.
