Don Mueang Airport
Bangkok Don Mueang International Airport (DMK)
Overview
Don Mueang International Airport is a small secondary facility located 15 miles (25km) outside of Bangkok. The facility was once a major international airport, however it closed in 2006 when the new Suvarnabhumi Airport was built and only reopened in 2007 in response to complaints about the new facility.
Mostly used for charter flights and a few low-cost domestic airlines now, only one of the airport's three terminals is in operation. Despite the 'ghost town' feeling, the airport is still a well-run facility with a handful of shops and fast-food outlets for entertainment.
Location
The airport is situated 15 miles (24km) north of Bangkok.

Taxis are available from the stand in front of Arrivals, and an airport surcharge is added to the fare. Airport buses are available and take passengers downtown.
