Early morning flight from DMK, Bangkok’s smaller airport?

Early morning flight from DMK, Bangkok’s smaller airport?

 


 

Stay near DMK, the Don Mueang area.  There are several inexpensive options available on and around the street called Thanon Song Prapha.  Better to book in advance but walk-in rooms are also available.  Rooms on and around Thanon Song Prapha are walking distance from the DMK airport.  In the airport, look for signs pointing to Amari Hotel.  Amari Hotel is across the freeway from DMK.  An elevated walkway connects Amari Hotel to DMK.  You can take the walkway and before reaching Amari Hotel, get off the walkway, go down to the side street walkway and walk to your room.

Bangkok’s MRT is now even more tourist friendly--just use your Visa card

 

Bangkok’s MRT is now even more tourist friendly--just use your Visa card

 


 

No need to buy tokens for Bangkok’s MRT (metro system).  You can use your Visa card to enter and exit (make sure to use the same card); the fare is calculated based on your entry and exit and the money (converted into the currency your Visa card transactions are) is charged to your card.  Very convenient!
