Via the BTS station Phaya Thai
If you're departing from Suvarnabhumi Airport, this is the station to take. The Airport Rail Link will get you to the airport from here in about 30 minutes for approximately 45 baht – much more convenient than sitting in a taxi and watching the meter climb on the highway while nothing moves. The station is located in Thanon Phaya Thai in Ratchathewi on the BTS Sukhumvit line. This allows you to reach Sathorn or any other destination along the line without ever touching a road.
The transfer between the Airport Rail Link and the Skytrain causes unnecessary difficulties for many, but it's actually quite simple. Get off the train, go down the stairs, cross the platform, and walk about 100 meters past the cafes and restaurants to the BTS ticket counter. The only downside: you need a separate ticket for each system. The staff here help confused tourists all day long and are very patient. The crowds are usually manageable, which can't be said for some transfer points in the city center.

Very polite staff. Always helpful and courteous. A very good train station. Tickets can be easily purchased via touchscreen machine or at the ticket counters. The machine only accepts 100, 50, and 20 Thai notes. Central location in Bangkok.
I thoroughly examined the connection between the airport platform and the Phaya Thai BTS station. Overall, it's a very straightforward process. You simply get off the train and go down the stairs. Then you cross the platform, where numerous restaurants and cafes line the pedestrian walkway. After about 100 meters, you reach the ticket counter for the BTS Skytrain. The process is very simple overall, although it's a bit inconvenient that you need a new ticket and that the Skytrains don't have a sound system. However, for those seeking a direct connection to the airport, this is the best option.
The journey from the city center to the airport is very convenient, as you avoid the traffic jams. The train was clean and the ride pleasant. However, the closing of the doors can be quite loud.
