  • Taxi Service
    Taxis are available for hire at the authorized Public Taxi Stand next to the Meeting Point south of the Arrival Hall in the International Passenger Terminal. Taxi drivers are only permitted to pick up passengers at these authorized stands and they are not allowed to offer their services to passengers in the terminal building. Fares are between 50-300 baht per trip depending on destinations. Fares to various destinations are posted at the taxi stand as a guideline to foreign commuters.

    Passengers are strongly advised NOT to use the services of private car drivers who may not be insured to carry passengers and are not licensed to ply for hire. All authorized taxis carry a yellow license plate and a rooftop TAXI-METER sign. No tip is expected.

  • Buses
    Air-conditioned and regular public buses constantly travel downtown from Don Muang Airport. Passengers wishing to take the bus can do so by walking to the Bus Stop located on Vibhavadi Rangsit Highway.

    Fares on regular buses cost only 3.50 baht for any distance, while fares for air-conditioned buses range from 6 baht for the first eight kilometres to a maximum of 16 baht. Fares are collected onboard. Bus numbers indicate routes.

    Buses can be uncomfortable and crowded especially during rush hours and will therefore have very little or no room for luggage.

    Regular Buses from Don Muang Airport to town are buses numbers 29, 59, 95 and air-conditioned buses numbers 4, 10, 13 and 29.

  • Passenger Service Charge
    A passenger service charge (Airport Tax), to be paid at the airport check-in counter, is required of all international and domestic passengers passing through Bangkok International Airport.
         International passengers 500 baht per person
         Domestic passengers 30 baht per person

    Foreign passengers whose passports have been stamped upon arrival are considered to have entered the Kingdom of Thailand. Therefore, when leaving the country they are required to pay the passenger service charge.

  • Left Luggage
    The Left Luggage Room at Bangkok Airport charges 20 baht per item per day with a maximum storage allowed of 3 months. Telephone: 5351250, 5351255.
