Celebrity Transfer to/from Bangkok - approximate times?

[AAMum2]

Can anyone give me an approximate arrival time, and then departure time the next day, for the Celebrity excursion - transfer only - to Bangkok?  Obviously traffic issues on the day will affect arrival time especially, but just trying to get an idea of how much time we will have in the city.  This is the excursion that drops off and picks up at (as far as I can tell) Centralworld Plaza.

 

Thank you! (apologies if this has been asked/answered previously - I coudn't find it)

It has been many years, but I remember it taking 2 hours to get from Bangkok to port.

Just checked google. "Most cruise ships dock in Laem Chabang, about a 2 hour ride away from Bangkok"

This is not necessarily a Celebrity question but rather a port question.  See if you can find any info in the port section of this site.  Ports of Call: Asia link: https://boards.cruisecritic.com/forum/43-asia/

Thanks for the replies, but I'm not asking how long it takes to get to/from Bangkok and the port.  I'm sorry I wasn't very clear . . . what I want to know really is approximately how much time will we have in Bangkok?  What time does the coach transfer actually leave the port on day 1 after everyone is off the ship and onto the coach, and then what time does the coach transfer actually leave Bangkok to return to the ship on day 2? The excursion is described on the Celebrity website as departing at 8:30 am and allowing "two full days" or "30 hours" in Bangkok:

 

Important details and advisements

• Tour escort will inform you of when to meet the coach for your return to the ship the following day.
• You will have 2 full days or approximately 30 hours to sightsee, shop and dine at your own pace.

 

I don't see how that can be the case.  Allowing even just two hours transit to Bangkok (arrive at centralwOrld 10:30 am), 30 hours would mean a departure time of 4:30 pm on day 2.  Sail away appears to be scheduled for 5:00 pm so that's obviously not correct.

 

Just wondering if there is anyone who did this transfer excursion last season who can give me a little more detail/clarity?

 

Thank you again!
