Guide to Getting from Don Mueang Airport to Bangkok City Center
Traveling to Thailand in general and Bangkok in particular is becoming increasingly convenient for Vietnamese tourists with many airline options available. Currently, Bangkok has two operating airports: Suvarnabhumi and Don Mueang, both of which are major international airports. While many travelers may be familiar with Suvarnabhumi Airport, what about Don Mueang Airport?
Before the inauguration of Suvarnabhumi Airport in 2006, Don Mueang Airport was the primary international airport of Bangkok. Although Don Mueang had been closed, due to the increasing number of tourists visiting Bangkok, the airport reopened to support the main airport, Suvarnabhumi. Currently, Don Mueang mainly serves domestic and budget flights.
Don Mueang is truly ideal for budget travelers. Additionally, for short trips, passengers looking to save time can choose to land here, as Don Mueang has fewer international flights, thus shortening the immigration process. Moreover, it's easy and convenient to travel from Don Mueang Airport to other cities in Thailand, making it a popular choice for many passengers.
From Vietnam to Bangkok, there are many budget airlines offering quality services for passengers to choose from. Some of the airlines flying to Don Mueang Airport often chosen by passengers include Thai Airways, Vietjet Air, Air Asia, Nok Air, and more.
