Buses between Suvarnabhumi and Don Muang airports
During your trip to Thailand, you may have to go from Suvarnabhumi Airport to Don Muang Airport or vice versa, as most low-cost airlines and many domestic flights operate from Don Muang. Conveniently, AOT (Airports of Thailand) runs a free, regular shuttle bus between Bangkok's two airports. To board, you must show a ticket for a flight departing from the other airport.
At Don Muang Airport, the free shuttle buses to Suvarnabhumi leave from door 5 of Terminal 1 or door 12 of Terminal 2 (follow the “Shuttle Bus” signs).
The shuttle bus from Don Muang Airport drops passengers at the Suvarnabhumi Passenger Terminal, 4th floor, Gate 5.
Allow 1 hour 30 minutes to reach the other airport. It is often quicker, but the journey time depends on traffic.
Practical information
The shuttles run daily from 5 am to midnight.

Other public transport in Bangkok
Don Muang - Bangkok
Several bus lines connect Don Muang Airport to the city. They take you to BTS Mo Chit station, Bangkok's Northern Bus Terminal (Mo Chit) or Victory Monument in central Bangkok.
Bangkok Skytrain
Bangkok's Skytrain is called the BTS. Its air-conditioned trains glide above the capital's heavy traffic. It doesn't go everywhere, but combined with the Chao Phraya Express boats, it takes you to Bangkok's major temples.
Bangkok bus lines
The bus is clearly neither the easiest nor the fastest way for a foreign tourist to get around Bangkok, but it is the cheapest. The network is huge and you can go almost anywhere – you just need to be patient.
Transport in Bangkok
So far the only Thai city with a metro (a project is planned in Phuket), Bangkok offers the widest choice of public and private transport in Thailand (metro, buses, boats, tuk-tuks...). No, there's more than tuk-tuks and pink taxis to get around Bangkok!
