Bangkok has two different airports, Don Mueang airport and Suvarnabhumi airport. Suvarnabhumi airport is located in Samut Prakan province, around 25 Km away from Bangkok’s city centre, making Don Mueang the closer airport at only 24 Km away.
When travelling from Don Mueang airport (DMK) to Bangkok city centre, there are two available transportation options. Taking a taxi from Don Mueang airport is a fast, convenient, comfortable and fairly affordable option. However, if you are travelling on a budget, your best option would be to take the bus. Another more comfortable and modern option is to take the Airport Limousine Express Bus which gets to Khao San station in 1 hour. However, it is important to know that if you choose to take the bus to Bangkok, you will need to take a connecting bus at the BTS Skytrain or at the MRT subway in order to reach the city centre.
Welcome Pickups offers meet and greet services and a friendly introduction to Bangkok at the same price as a regular taxi. Click here to see the cost.
