Don Muang train station is a short distance away and is accessible via an overhead walkway. It provides train services to and from Bangkok and the north of the country. Services operate between 06:06 am and 20:07 pm daily. Public bus stops are situated in front of the airport on the main highway in and out of Bangkok. Information desks on site provide the necessary travel information and bus services are frequent and cheap if somewhat unpunctual. Minibuses can also be hired for group travellers and hotel pick-ups. There are several airport minibuses that run to different sections of central Bangkok. The set down points are posted on the side of each bus and there are stops outside each Terminal. Taxis are the most convenient means of getting around Bangkok and are relatively inexpensive. Ranks are located outside the Arrival Halls of Terminals 1 and 2, and the Domestic Passenger Terminal. A typical journey into central Bangkok will cost around 200 baht, depending on the traffic. This includes a 50 baht levy for waiting taxis. Passengers opting to travel on the toll ways must pay this fee on top of the taxi charge. Be wary of unlicensed taxi drivers overcharging you for the trip, and always insist on the meter. To get into Bangkok by car, follow Viphawdee Rangsit Highway and enter the toll-way in the direction of city centre. Drivers should note that the highways into Bangkok can be busy and slow-moving. Don Muang provides excellent car parking space for both short term and long -term parking and it is fairly inexpensive. There is a seven-storey car park next to International Passenger Terminal 2 and a three-storey car park outside the Domestic Passenger Terminal. Another car park is located in the basement section of International Passenger Terminal 1. More information on Bangkok International Airport (BKK) Flight
