Don Mueang Area Guide

Some of the best hotels in Don Mueang offer ease of access to Don Mueang International Airport, which is used for domestic and a few international flights. Many hotels take advantage of the district’s abundant space with large gardens and modern amenities.

IMPACT Exhibition Centre is within a 20-minute drive of Don Mueang International Airport. The multipurpose complex often hosts events ranging from international concerts to trade fairs and business conferences. Nearby is the satellite city of Muang Thong Thani, where you can find many businesses and affordable high-rise condominiums.

The Royal Thai Air Museum preserves planes and equipment spanning from the beginning of Thai aviation history to the present. Golfers can enjoy a round at the Kantarat Golf Course, which belongs to the Royal Thai Air Force, as well as the Rajpraek Club and the Royal Thai Army Golf Club.

The Central Lad Phrao shopping centre lies around 13 km southwest of Don Mueang, while Future Park Rangsit is less than 15 km northeast of the airport. Chatuchak Park (next to the famous Weekend Market) and the adjoining Queen Sirikit Park are within a 20-minute drive from the district.

With expressways galore, the best way to get around Don Mueang is by car or taxi. The Mo Chit BTS Skytrain and Phahalyothin MRT Underground Stations are handy for trips to downtown Bangkok. A train station at Don Mueang International Airport connects you to Hualumphong Station in the centre of town, near Chinatown Bangkok.
