Soo-WA-nah-pboom should be passable enough to get you understood by most taxi drivers.

dsquared is also correct -- saying "airport" and the airline name should work since Thai Airways fly only out of Suvarnabhumi. Likewise, if you catch a cab from a hotel, the porters can instruct the driver for you.
Your goal here is not to end up at the wrong airport.
