The second main airport in Bangkok, nothing too fancy but at least has all the basic shops.Theres no metro connection but you can always take the handy bus and get in Victory Monument, enjoy BKK!
Upvoted 3 days ago- To get here from downtown on the cheap: Take the train to Mo Chit BTS station (cost ~40 Baht depending on where you start). Then take A1 or A2 bus for 30 Baht. Easy peasy.

ᴋᴍʏSeptember 18, 2017Small and old. But the domestic hall is very new and modern looking. Better if the international hall can be redesign. Overall is still a good place.

The Goh SistersJanuary 2, 2018Taking local bus ( A1,2,3 ) to city centre is cheap and takes about 30 mins, depending on where you alighting.
Bangkok old airport. The sad thing about this place is that it’s inaccessible by BTS/MRT. You will have to go through hell bargaining with taxi drivers. Next, locals’ hell : parking lots. Crowded.
HauserMarch 29, 2014Infested with horrible mainland Chinese tourists who talk loud and cut lines. No need to be nice to them. Just scream at them.
VenothJune 13, 2016An airport that's much more convenient compared to Suvarnabhumi International in terms of crowd management. Taxi fares are not much too. Quite a number of eateries inside the terminal as well.
Magic Food Court at the old building (walk through a left sidewalk beside 7-11 @ terminal 2) — They're cheap, fast and delicious! 😋
Andrew PandrewApril 1, 2019Clean and efficient. Separate passport control line for Chinese tourists. Easy and cheap to get a Grab to any exit on the arrivals level. Lots of money changers and SIM cards at good prices.
Shandra UmayaDecember 25, 2018For muslim traveler, you can use some space near children playground for praying. Take wudhu in the restroom, use the handwash basin but don't wet the floor. Let's keep neat, akhi & ukhti 😊
SongFebruary 1, 2019Sooooooo many Mainland Chinese tourists here, the airport even has dedicated lanes for them to clear immigration (which are much appreciated actually as you are away from their rowdiness 😅)
Nga Doan VuDecember 6, 2014Free wifi available. Get log in details at the tourist information booth. Lunch at Magic Food is a good and economic choice. 500m to the right of airport building
Great domestic terminal. Good food choices. Clean toilets. Paying lounges available if you want to have some peace and quiet.
The 7-11 outside the international departure terminal is awesome for last minute snacks, drinks or even cup noodles. Many come here to smoke too and you will see lot of PRC visitors here.
Franco Marinari AccianiJanuary 3, 2019A mess... If you fly Air Asia and you have a flexi ticket don't need to queue before check-in. Go straight to check-in counter dedicated and ask the assistant to open the way.
Marwajih MarullohDecember 17, 2014Don't forget to bring your pen with you, it's a nice country, easily get your On Arrival Visa and have fun. They have a long queue of taxi passengers but it doesn't take your time so much #Thailand
Local Fresh Fruit (eg Strawberry, health food) from Royal Project atTerminal 1 open till 8pm. Urara Orange -fresh juice on second is located floor in front of Silom Village -it came in orange itself
Dogan EskinatAugust 24, 2018Make sure to arrive 2 hours in advance for international flights. It's a smaller airport, but check-in can take up to 30 minutes (Air Asia) and the passport control can take up to 15 minutes.
Take a bus A1 at gate5 flr.1 Only 30 baht to MRT , every 30min from 7:30-24:00Upvoted 3 weeks ago- Nan LinJune 7, 2014If you're looking for good food without the airport prices. On floor 2 near front middle of the airport follow signs to arimi hotel. In the concourse here's a lunch buffet for 120 baht - delicious.
Naoki FerrioFebruary 10, 2019Prepare to arrive at the airport earlier for the bottleneck traffic at the airport entrance freeway and every check in counters are usually packed with people.
The newer terminal 2 (one floor above the departure hall) has a nice big food court called Magic Garden. Lots of food choices here
mizz linFebruary 18, 2015Step out and take the 30baht A1 express bus to Mochit Skytrain. The female conductors try their best to help in simple English & Mandarin even
TsuiRen CloverMay 19, 2017Impossible to grab an Uber, Grab, or taxi from here on Friday night. Just head out of Gate 6 to take A1 bus, get off at Mo Chit BTS and continue on to your destination via BTS. Bus fare: 30Baht/pax
Krukook SutMarch 1, 2017Do not miss beef noodles (kuai taew rue or kuai taew n khon , som tam lao or som tam poo pla ra (thai local taste) / Lad Na Mee Krop ( fried egg noodle and think gravy :-)watermelon blended
Have a great travel. The oldest airport of Thailand. Every passengers will see Sawadee (means Welcome in Thai).Departure on 3rd floor.Arrival on 1st floor.
There is a Royal Project Doi Kham Shop on 3rd floor of terminal 1 selling cheaper food , drinks and other goods. And also Amazon Cafe on the 1st floor selling cheaper coffee and cheaper snacks
Arthur SangsukhdeeDecember 1, 2014For cheap Thai food in the airport go look for the Magic Food court. You have to go to the first floor, walk past Terminal 1, go outside and keep walking till you get to the parking lot.
Mi MundoAugust 25, 2019Although it became an exclusive airport for LCCs,Don Mueang airport remains hub of Bangkok,expecting new airport railway link will be operated soon.Old airport terminal also has sophisticated lounge.
MJMarch 26, 2014Krispy Kreme is available only in Bangkok (no other province in Thailand has as of March 2014). Good sweet treat to bring to friends & relatives in other provinces. Available in departing terminal.
David WillmoreAugust 13, 2018Very drab, but good and diverse food options that are more or less matched before and after security.
Agree with previous tips. Just go out to main road and grab taxi. Save your time and Baht. High fly to downtown Krung Thep.
Bart LapersJanuary 12, 2015Don Mueang International Airport is considered to be one of the world's oldest international airports and Asia's oldest operating airport. It was officially opened by Thai Airforce on 27 March 1914.
One of the best reasons to fly LCCs in SEA. Land in DMIA, where's it's less busy than Suvarnabhumi (on a good day). Older, compact layout also means less walking from aerobridge to exit.
Avoid arriving at this airport on peak periods as there'll be tons of people at the immigration, belt, and taxi. Use car service apps like Grab so you don't have to wait in neverending queue.
Geoff HFebruary 18, 2018The second airport used by discount airlines. Access by taxi or bus only but good expressway makes trip quick once you’re on it.
JuliaSeptember 9, 2018Good airport. Feeling of a US domestic airport. Krispy Kreme, KFC, McDonald’s etc at the gates.
Kathy BarnettMarch 7, 2019Watch the taxis going to domestic. They drop you at Int. Arrivals and tell you to walk,going up the 3 floors to Domestic departures. Takes a while. This way they get another fare
Easy to navigate and quick to get through, but a bit plain in terms of food and shopping options. More of a clean, nuts and bolts airport.
Rahmi UlfahAugust 4, 2017be patient and calm if you arrived to this airport. you will have long line. but it fast checking because you will have to fill the form that had spread out in your airplane.
Tiazh TizJuly 23, 2015they have free wifi service, just have to fill in some simple info to register. very quick, fast & stable signal. impressed.
On arrival, go up to departure hall level to get a taxi. This will save you 50thb taxi counter fee. Do rmb to check with driver to use meter.
Maxim MaximDecember 19, 2012U can find good place for rest without people, at the second floor at the right corner try to find "Observation Desk" sign.
Duke PHAMJanuary 28, 2015Select .@AirportTrueFreeWifi. No need to give true information. At the end of the registration page you will get your username and password. Take a snapshot of that page or copy paste in our notes.
Suriya HadiFebruary 9, 2016Halal finger food near Gate 24 Terminal 1. Finger food. Burger, fried chicken, fruit, coffee, snacks.
Shadni WardiahOctober 29, 2017For Muslims: there’s a prayer room in domestic departure hall (short walk from international). Halal food is in front of the prayer room and in international departure hall (after customs)
@makanstéAugust 9, 2018One halal place at the airport called Bang Mad. Awesome sandwiches, thai tea and tomyum!
Bob KellyJuly 26, 2017Undergone a facelift in recent years from the small cosy place i remember. Now a typical transit airport designed to get as much money from your wallet as possible.
Dmitriy TartishnikovFebruary 13, 2017A lot of shops, fast food and cafes in domestic zone. More pricy than in the city, but its all around the world :)

Don Mueang International Airport (DMK), is an airport in Bangkok, Thailand. Commercial service to Don Mueang began in 1924 and closed in 2006 following the opening of Bangkok's new Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK). Before the opening of Suvarnabhumi, the airport used the airport code BKK and the name was spelled Don Muang. After Suvarnabhumi opened for commercial flights, the spelling was changed and as Don Mueang (opened again on 24 March 2007) it now uses the airport code DMK.
