Don Mueang International Airport (DMK) is one of the two international airports serving Bangkok. Formerly spelled Don Muang, it served as the old Bangkok International Airport until the opening of Suvarnabhumi Airport on 28 September, 2006.

After a few months of closure, Don Mueang reopened on 24 March, 2007 for non-connecting domestic commercial flights. As such, despite having "international" to its name, Don Mueang is actually a domestic airport today. Only two local airlines use it - Nok Air and Orient Thai Airlines. Today Don Mueang is also jointly used by the Royal Thai Air Force as a military base.

Going to Don Mueang International Airport

Don Mueang Airport is located about 30km to the north of downtown Bangkok. You can easily take a taxi to go there.

The cheapest option to reach the airport is by taking a train from Hualamphong Railway Station to the Don Muang Train Station. However you will be sharing your ride on a local commuter train.

Arriving at Don Mueang International Airport

The taxi stand of Don Mueang Airport is on the sidewalk outside Arrivals. As with Suvarnabhumi Airport, there is a taxi queue where your destination is written down and you pass the slip to the driver.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
