Bangkok is the capital of Thailand and it is a colourful city with lots of culture, historical sites, beautiful buildings and great cuisine. Bangkok is perhaps most renowned for its canals, which network the city and have resulted in its nickname "Venice of the East". Take a boat ride around Bangkok and discover the ins and outs of the city from a different perspective. Make sure you get the chance to visit Damnoen Saduak Floating Market, where you can take in the scents and smells of Thailand, as well as pick up some typical souvenirs. The city is also famous for its Buddhist temples, Wat Pho and Wat Arun, as well as its elaborate buildings and monuments. Book cheap flights to Bangkok and start organising your trip to the city of paradise.
Bangkok has two international airports that serve the city, the "new" Bangkok International Airport, named Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK) and Don Mueang International Airport (DMK), mainly used for domestic and low cost flights.
Suvarnabhumi Bangkok Airport was opened in 2006 and is the main hub for Bangkok Airways. It is the main gateway to Bangkok and receives most of the international flights of the country. The airport is 16 miles outside of Bangkok city centre. The cheapest and easiest way to get to the centre is by the Suvarnabhumi Airport Link (ARL). There are two train services to get from the airport to Bangkok: the non-stop Express Line every 30 minutes to Makkasan Station and the Commuter City Line every 15 minutes which makes 8 stops in the capital ending at Phaya Thai Station. The trains run from 6am until 12am midnight and cost 150 Baht (about £3.40) for a one-way ticket.
Don Mueang Airport was once Bangkok's only airport and was originally shut down after the construction of Bangkok's new airport, Suvarnabhumi. In 2007, Don Mueang Airport was re-opened for both public and military use. It is the main hub for low cost airlines like Thai AirAsia, Nok Air, and Orient Thai Airlines. The airport has 3 terminals: Terminal 1 is used for international flights, Terminal 2 is currently closed, and Terminal 3 is used for domestic flights. To go from the airport to Bangkok city centre the easiest and most economical forms of transportation are by train or bus. There is a train station linked to the airport by a pedestrian bridge, trains run from 6am to 8pm about every hour to Hua Lamphong (Central Railway Station). To get to Bangkok city centre by bus take the #29 to the Siam area (downtown Bangkok). The bus price is 20 Baht (about £0.45).
