Airport Information

Airport News

Don Muang Airport no longer handles international flights, only non-connecting domestic ones operated by three airlines. All international flights now arrive at, or leave from, the new Bangkok International Airport in Suvarnabhumi (see separate entry). Domestic flights will run the former international terminal on 1 August 2011 as part of plans to redevelop Terminal 1, which include more shops and larger parking areas.

Driving Directions

The main road linking the airport to central Bangkok is the Vibhavadi Rangsit Road; it is also possible to travel into Bangkok via faster toll-motorways.

Car Hire

Avis is located in the arrivals area in the domestic terminal.

Public Transport

Bus: Air-conditioned airport buses leave from the front of the arrivals area; destinations served include several city hotels, the Grand Palace, Sukhumvit and Bangkok Railway Station. Regular public buses also run to Bangkok Railway Station, Silom Road and the southern and eastern region bus terminals. Taxi: Licensed metered city taxis (with black and yellow plates) can be flagged down outside the departures area; passengers should make sure that the meter is switched on and never use unlicensed taxis. It is a good idea to have the destination required written in Thai.
Rail: Trains run to Bangkok from Don Muang Station, opposite the airport, to Hua Lumpong Railway Station in central Bangkok (journey time: around 50 minutes), from which it is possible to connect to trains serving the whole country.

Car Parking

A three-story car park is located in front of the domestic terminal.
