MRT card from any MRT station control

Both don't exist at DMK

MRT is for railway
bts is for bts stations

bts can buy rabbit card, which can be used at macdonalds etc...
mrt railway, u need to buy tickets, their tickets is like those coins type ...

Only surnaburmi international airport have train to pratunam area ...
dmk strictly no train ..
either u take bus to mo chit then from mo chit bts take to other places
or u cab from dmk to your area ..

mo chit is the bts at chutachak ...
so if u stay sukvhumit or pratunam area,
you have to take bts at least 8 stations
or cab at least 110b or 25 to 35min to reach sukvhumit or pratunam area

it's within walk-able distance of 10-15mins depending how fast or slow you walk. you don't really have to drag since most people would have trolley bags these days. the only problem is getting up/down the stairs from the overhead bridge to the train station/platform. might be a tag challenging for the old, young and fairer sex if they have big baggage.

i've only taken this route a handful of times many (and many) years ago. train always come slightly late (10-30mins) than the stated time. i can't recall the exact ticket price but it was dirt cheap (10-30B???) and the journey last an hour before terminating at humlamphong.

oh it can be a little bit confusing for 1st time user to know which side of the platform to buy the train ticket. there are hardly any visible signage printed in english. you just have to ask around for the right way so that you won't be ended up in chiangmai.

agree too ... dmk airport woudl jam abit ...
when took cab to dmk airport, jam for 15 min at least
take cab need queue at least 30 min
cox they have oni 8 taxi counter
compared to surnaburmi international airport they have at least 50 counters ba

DMK need to scan ur luggages before going to take ur boarding pass
if the queue is long , u have to queue very long
then might delay ur time in getting ur boarding pass
if u open your bag after they scanned, then you have to requeue and scan this is the tricky part, that surnamburni international airport dont have lol ...


dmk is really like our LCCT ...
in terms of eating place, not much choices there ...
at least main international airport many restaurants ...
can sit there and have a meal before departing ...
