Navigating Bangkok’s Don Muang Airport is straightforward, but first-time
fliers may appreciate these few tips:
Upon leaving the aircraft, follow the signs for Immigration (you can
use the moving walkways). Line up at a desk marked foreign passports. Once the
officer has stamped your passport, go down to Baggage Claim and find the
carousel displaying your flight number. Collect your luggage and continue
through Customs; take the green gate if you do not have anything to
declare and the red gate if you do. You will have completed a customs form on
the plane; hand this to the official as you pass through to the Arrivals
Hall.
The Arrivals Hall is where you will find Currency Exchange, Tourist
Information and Hotel Reservation. You can take taxis into the city
from the Pre-paid Taxi booth outside the Arrivals Hall. You pay a fixed
fee to your destination and take the next cab. A hundred meters away, the
Airport Bus service goes to major destinations in the city for 70 baht.
Ignore taxi drivers and hotel touts who try to steer you away – they usually rip
people off.
