TRAVEL TO DON MUANG - NOT USING TAXI

[biggles 509]

I did the run from pattaya north bus station to Don Muang yesterday. I caught the 9.50am bus to Mor Chit bus station, cost 133 baht and it took around 2 hrs 30 mins. I caught a taxi outside the terminal, meter was 105 baht and took around 20 minutes, a very good run. No great dramas at the airport, only two people in the immigration queue (tho the counter guy said it did get busy) and no one at security waiting. I would certainly recommend it as a way to get there.

 

If you dont want the expense of a taxi its probably a more flexible option than the bell bus service van.

I like the title, not using taxi then how you took a taxi from Mo Chit to the airport.

Sounds rather arduous when there is a bus service alternative via Swampy.

If you want to bypass the broken trip use Bell buses. They have 2 each way per day at 350 baht and its direct so if it ties with your flights its a bargain. Sorry dont have the times but go to their web site.

According to Bell's site, you have to take a van from BKK to DMK - which is what, I believe, the OP was trying to avoid.

Well spotted Tom. My info was based on the poster in the Bells office. Nothing was mentioned about a transfer.

It wasn't so much the transfer to the van I was trying to avoid, it was that the van only does the trip 3 times a day, which is very hard to fit in with a flight time.
