Free shuttle bus from Suvarnabhumi airport to Don Mueang airport

Transportation

One Saturday March, 2022, I used free airport shuttle bus service  from Suvarnabhumi to Don Mueang airport so I record my experience here. Please watch out their operation is a bit different before Covid era. Now they have reduced operation due to less tourists coming to Thailand.

Suvarnabhumi to Don Mueang airport

At Suvarnabhumi airport, bus stop is at the outside of Exit 3, 2nd floor arrival hall.

You will see shuttle bus sign and counter. Shuttle bus can be used only for those who has flight schedule on the day or next day if you use shuttle bus at night time.

Bus operation time is every hour only from 5am to 10pm. 5 am to 12 midnight (noticed operation extended on Feb 2023) while they used to have more buses every 30 minutes before Covid. Counter staff told me that the number was reduced due to less users. They might increase frequency if the kingdom welcomes more guests from other countries as before.

At the counter, please show your identification card or passport and travel itinerary to confirm you have flight from Don Mueang.
