Transit between the 2 BKK airports

[bubblegum]

Flights from where I am to BKK only go to Don Muang. What's the best and easiest way to get to the other airport and back?

Free shuttle bus as long as you have a flight out of DMK.

Takes about 50 minutes between airports

Best and easiest = taxi.  Cheapest = free shuttle.

Totally agree on taxi. Where flights are concerned most people would rather be at their departure airport sooner rather than later.

Make sure you have more than 50 minutes to spare.

With traffic, that ride could be well over an hour.

You really don't know how to use Taxis or Bolt or Grab?

It is question asked for 1st timers. You are on here calling people names when you don't know the first thing about Thailand.

Depending on the time of day/year (traffic and rain) consider using the train system.

Have to quote you again because a forum is usually used for sharing information, not cutting other people down and trying to be the smart ass in the class.

Catching a taxi is very easy buddy. Not difficult. Good luck.

Train is viable but a bit of  faff, three different trains.

* Red Line from DMK to Bang Sue is seven stops. Then go down to the basement and get the
* Blue line to Petchaburi. Ten stops. Then:
* ARL to BKK. 5 stops. The trains pulls in right in the basement of the airport, so just go upstairs to departures.

All in all probably about an hour. If it is rush hour (or raining as you said) and you don't have a ton of luggage I would do this. Personally I like knowing that the train will always get there, with a taxi or bus you never know what the traffic might do. However if no traffic a taxi would be quicker.

Because it's usually a good idea to ask people who have done this transit? I'm old and believe people over websites.

You abuse others all the time. Taxi is by far the easiest. Trains be cheaper but more hassle. Bus you need to show proof of onward flight plus wait. Grab would require a bigger wait at start. I always use official taxis in bkk airports. Everywhere else i use the cheaper apps.

Abuse others? Nah, I just have no enough patience anymore with folks like you popping up everywhere with their so called "wise ass" remarks. You think you are a pleasant person? Think again.

Such drama over catching a taxi. It is only about 400 baht from airport to airport.
