Yes it exits....from the airport just take the free shuttle bus to the bus terminal which is about 5-10 mins away...you will see bus 556....

Has anyone taken this bus from Suvarnabhumi to the New Southern Bus Terminal say in the last 45 days? Is it a bus or mini-van? How often does it run? How long does it take? When does it operate? Does it stop at the passenger terminal? How much does it cost? I suspect the OP and others are looking for this sort of detailed information?

This link seems to indicate that it might be a mini-van, operating via Motorway – Expressway – Yomrat Intersection –Democracy Monument Sanamluang – Khawsarn Rd. – Pata Pinklaw – New South Bus Terminal, 06:00 - 21:00, and that if it is full departing the airport bus terminal that it will not stop at the main passenger terminal building.

i think that minibus just takes you to the airport bus terminal where you get the real busses to the city. I wouldn't worry about the minibus being full and not stopping at your pickup location, as another one should be along soon after.

Saw it yesterday on Rajadamnern. It's a big blue bus. Get it at the transportation center. I used to take it in in its various manifestations between bus and van.

The big blue bus is very very cold and has a very very loud radio. It would be hard to make the trip less pleasant. It is still better than the maniacal van drivers though.
