Car Hire Don Muang Airport

Don Muang Airport in Thailand was previously the main airport in the country catering to all international flights as well as domestic flights. However, with the emergence of a new and modern airport, Don Muang Airport is today relegated mostly as a point to point transportation hub for domestic flights.

The airport is in a very strategic location in Bangkok with quick and easy connectivity to the downtown expressway as well as to the newly built international airport. As the airport is now catering to an exclusive client base with a limited number of flights the atmosphere at this airport is said to be highly passenger friendly. It is not very crowded and passengers find it very easy to complete their ground transportation, hotel accommodation, currency conversion matters within a short period of time at the arrival terminal.

Commuting from the Airport

Connectivity to any part of Thailand from Don Muang Airport can be done very efficiently as the airport is covered by an extensive ground transportation system. Whether you choose a public transportation mode or private the ensuing ride is sure to be comfortable and fairly pleasant.

The country has an impressive road infrastructure which makes driving a pleasant experience. However, congestion and heavy traffic are a major concern if you are travelling towards the bustling city center of Bangkok.

• Hire car - A hire car can be arranged at the Don Muang Airport. A rental car is a good way for transferring to your destination, but it is not the ideal mode of transport for city travelling. Spending time in heavy traffic jams, tackling a convoluted network of expressways on top of facing reckless local drivers is not the best way to be spending your holiday in this beautiful country. However, if you are directly heading out of Bangkok with the intention of reaching some of the out of town scenic spots then a hire car is your best travel mode.
• Taxi – The taxi ranks are located just outside the airport arrivals area. Taxis are metered though not all drivers would be willing to have the meter on and might request you to pay a flat rate.
• Tuk Tuks – This is the much favored local transport mode, though it is not always the safest. They are smelly, the drivers tend to chat whether you want them to or not. But it can be an exhilarating ride and you would not have experienced Bangkok truly without taking a ride in a Tuk-Tuk.
• Buses - Buses operate on a reliable and regular schedule connecting passengers to all major destinations in the country. The airport bus reaches the town center within 20 minutes and charges a very economical rate.
• Train – This is one of the most efficient ways of getting around in Bangkok. Visitors can seek help at the information desk regarding train schedules for their intended destinations.
