Get in
By bus
Local buses 29, 34, 39, 59, 95 will get you from Bangkok to Rangsit Future Park (5B in the basic non-aircon buses, 20B in aircon).
Nearly all central, north and northeast-bound long-distance buses stop next to Rangsit Future Park on their way in or out of the city, and often almost half the bus gets off. And with reason: it's still another hour from here to the city, so this is an excellent place to hop out, stretch your legs and get a decent meal.
By taxi
A taxi to central Bangkok will cost at least B300. As this is outside Bangkok proper, you'll probably need to negotiate a flat rate.
Get around

Unfortunately the spiffy monorail that is supposed to connect them all hasn't been running in a while.
Eat & Drink
