  • Didn't know about this free shuttle bus, wonderful option! Used the (almost free ;) ) shuttle bus to Soi Rambuttri a few times... also a fast and good ride when staying in BKK

  • Landing in BKK (Suvarnabhumi) at 6:00 in the morning on a Sunday. Carrying only hand luggage.. is it possible to transfer to a domestic flight from DonMuang that departs 10:00?

    I realize that this post might not receive any answers in time, but would still appreciate any answers as this would be helpful information for other travellers.

    I have scoured the internet for this information but only found information about the shuttle bus - not any useful information about realistic transfer time. Most netizens claim the bus takes one hour, others claim they have spent 3 hrs in traffic jams and arrived too late for departure.. Any detailed information on realistic transfer time would be greatly appreciated:)

    • Hi Martin,

      That should be fine, I did it with only 3 hours in between and perfect on time! Otherwise, if you're not sure, take a taxi. But I think you will be alright. Most domestic flights you can check in till 1 hour before the flight. Have a nice trip!

  • Hi!

    I need to go from Don Muageng to Suvarnabhumi on the 12th of april in the afternoon, but my flight departs at 2:00 on the 13th, could I get the shuttle?

  • Thank you so much for this very useful information. I tried the fake ticket generator though but I did not see DMK in the list of airports. Have you tired using it for creating a ticket from DMK?

    • Hi Myrtha, you can always download the PDF, export it to word and change the airport or other details :D Enjoy your time in Thailand!

  • Hi.
    I will be landing in BKK (Suvarnabhumi) on a Thursday at 7.20 am and need to be at BMK airport for a connecting flight at 11.15 am on the same day.
    Does anyone know whether I would have enough time to do both a visa on arrival and get the free shuttle to catch my flight on time?
    Any help would be appreciated :)

  • Hello

    We plan to go on october, sadly didnt get the best fare and connection to Ching may is smoehow set exactly against our trip....so we got to options:
    Arriving 7:20 to BKK idealy and:
    9:20 Air Asia from DMK
    11:50 Air Asia from DMK
    You can see that the times are extremly tight 2hrs (probably even not possible) or long 5hrs....so i just want to assure myself, there is not much i can do and the 5hrs is the way right?

    Thak you

    • There isn't much you can do. Although you can always get some nice Thai massages in between flights! Nice meal as well and time will fly without even knowing it.
      :D

  • Hi!

    I am arriving at BKK at 6:50 in the morning, and need to catch a flight from Don Mueang at 9:25 the same day.

    I would of course take a taxi, but still, the time is short. But would it be doable?
