Don Muang Airport no longer handles international flights, only non-connecting domestic ones operated by three airlines. All international flights now arrive at, or leave from, the new Bangkok International Airport in Suvarnabhumi (see separate entry).

Only one terminal is currently in use.

The main road linking the airport to central Bangkok is the Vibhavadi Rangsit Road; it is also possible to travel into Bangkok via faster toll-motorways.

A three-storey car park is located in front of the Domestic Passenger Terminal.

Avis is located in the Arrivals area in the Domestic Passenger Terminal.

Rail: Trains (tel: (02) 222 0175; www.railway.co.th) run to Bangkok from Don Muang Station, opposite the airport, to Hua Lumpong Railway Station in central Bangkok (journey time - around 50 minutes), from where trains to destinations throughout the country can connect.
Bus: Air-conditioned airport buses leave from the front of the Arrivals area; destinations served include several city hotels, the Grand Palace, Sukhumvit and Bangkok Railway Station. Regular public buses also run to Bangkok Railway Station, Silom Road and the Southern and Eastern Region bus terminals.
