FLIGHT
Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK), also known as (New) Bangkok International
Airport, is one of two international airports serving Bangkok, Thailand.
Suvarnabhumi covers an area of 3,240 hectares (8,000 acres), making it
one of the biggest international airports in Southeast Asia and a
regional hub for aviation.
Around 50 million passengers travel through Suvarnabhumi Airport every
year, and as well as being the international arrival point for Thailand
it is also a transfer airport for South East Asia. Bangkok
International Airport is located 16 miles outside of town, but it is
easy to get to Bangkok city centre, either via the airport link or via
taxi – although be warned that traffic jams are likely during peak
hours.
Don Mueang International Airport (DMK) is the other international
airport serving Greater Bangkok. The airport is considered to be one of
the world's oldest international airports and Asia's oldest operating
airport. It is very easily accessible expressway from downtown as well
as if needed a connection to the New International Airport can be done
easily via the elevated expressways. Since the numbers of flights is
very limited, the airport has become very user-friendly, and aside of
Thai public holidays, is not too crowded. In addition, a Train station
is available in short walking distance of the terminal allowing an easy
commute to Hua Lomphong main station.
