But seeing the situation in Skytrain reported by Bro adidas88...better drop the idea and take the taxi there...should be around 700-800 bahts to Rachadapisek area!

I poor man....
1. on arrival, goes up to the Departure Hall level, take the free shuttle bus service to bring you to the the bus depot. If not sure which bus, just ask around (perfer those in uniform) FREE!
2. at bus depot, there are many public bus (aircon and comfortable), ard 30 bahts. To Victory monument, Mochit, etc. Best to ask which bus goes to closest to ratchada...
3. at the end of bus journey, should be dam close to Ratchada, take a cab to the hotel. By then will be cheaper than taking bus.....
or
1. on arrival, goes uo to Departure Level, take the taxi that just drop off passengers, no need to pay boking fee. Make sure cabby turn on meter, no surcharge, but you have to pay toll way (if you agree) about 25 bahts to Ratchada.
2. The fare is only 250 bahts,
(not 700-800 bahts as reported by another Cash King) Overall should not be more than 300 bahts (icluding tips, if the cabby is nice, not the conning type) So with 10 of you sharing, this should be cheap
3. this is probably the best option, easily the fastest.... most thais use this
4. dun bother to use the taxi booking system....... no thai use this
or
on arrival take the lam mo sin, ard 450 bahts...(still less than 700-800baht) never see any Thais use this.... rich ones have better options.
or
hire one minivan, that can take 10 (provided no golf bags)...... this have to search a bit.... if for me, i will sure can find them... they are at ground level just outside the main terminal building.... no advisable for your group, waste of time.......
Choke dee, sarbai sarbai..... and enjoy..
