easingup

Same thing happened to us at DMK. Would not allow us to use shuttle to Swampy without onward air ticket from there.

We instead used the shuttle mini bus 554 (?) parked way down in carpark. Turn right when you come out of airport exit doors. Cost 50 bht each..takes just under 1 hour. They also charge extra for your luggage depending on how they feel on the day. The wait can be long as they fill up the bus before moving off.

For what its worth... if you have a bit of luggage or some mobility issues dmk is no fun to land at.

Air Asia are very unhelpful on how to get to Swampy and basically tell you its your problem, go sort it yourself. You think they would make some service available ...even chargeable, given that all the transfers to other locations operate from Swampy.

Bell do not offer DMK to Pattaya at present..though it listed on their web site.

Bell's service from your hotel or condo in Pattaya to airport or any other destination in Bangkok including main MRT OR Skytrain stations was great. Highly recommended. Pity they don't offer they same going back to Pattaya.

Last time I tried to get on the shuttle bus from Don Meuang to Suwannaphum, I was unable to board as I had no onward flight from Suwannaphum.
