At Don Mueang the driver waits at Gate 5 for international flights and at Gates 11 and 12 for domestic flights. We follow the flight number, and a late landing costs nothing extra.
By bus, minivan or train
Public transport is cheaper per person, but it runs on its own timetable and stops at a bus or train station, so you still need a way to your hotel from there. With luggage, with children or on a tight connection the extra changes cost time. Check the last departure of the day before you choose it.
When the taxi is the better choice
You land with luggage and want to reach the hotel without looking for the right bus. A driver with your name on a sign is waiting at arrivals. The car stops at the door of the hotel or condo. A group of up to 9 people travels in one car and pays one price.
