From Trat Bus Terminal to Don Mueang Airport (DMK)
1. At Trat Bus Terminal, there are vehicles offer service directly from Trat Bus Terminal to Don Mueang Airport, however, if you cannot find a ticket at a specific time, please consider purchasing tickets to Bangkok for other locations where you can access trains, such as Suvarnabhumi Airport with the Airport Rail Link and Ekkamai Bus Terminal with the BTS Sky Train. By doing this, it will be easier for you to reach Don Mueang Airport.
2. While some buses or vans drop passengers at Suvarnabhumi Airport too, most of them terminate at Ekkamai Bus Terminal or Mochit Bus Terminal. Therefore, if you need to be dropped off at Suvarnabhumi Airport to access to Don Mueang Airport by train called Airport Rail Link, please inform the staff AND THE DRIVER clearly that you need to go to Suvarnabhumi Airport.
3. Some buses or vans might drop you at the Airport Rail Link, Ladkrabang Station, due to congestion at the Suvarnabhumi Airport. From there, you can obtain Airport Rail Link tickets to Don Mueagn Airport. The journey takes approximately 60 minutes – 1 hour.
Timetable and Tickets
While there are ticket booths around the hotel, the best option is to purchase tickets directly at Trat Bus Terminal because Timetable, operators, and fares are adjusted periodically.
Heading to Bangkok on Friday, Sunday, and Long weekend
Due to heavy traffic in Bangkok starting after 2:00 p.m., we recommend leaving Trat early in the morning to avoid congestion. Please note that tickets on national holidays sell out a few weeks before departure. Please purchase tickets in advance and allow for extra time in case of traffic delays.
Food at Trat Bus Terminal
There is a small house with shops in the area selling Thai rice & noodle, snacks, and beverages. If you are using the minivan, you will have 1-2 stops at gas stations with large 7-11 supermarkets. You can find good bakeries and beverages there too.
