Terminals at Suvarnabhumi Airport

Main Passenger Terminal

The main terminal handles both international and domestic flights. It's large but well signed in English, with immigration zones, dining, and duty-free shops - the gates can be a walk, so allow extra time via the moving walkways.

Satellite Terminal (SAT-1)

SAT-1 handles additional international flights and connects to the main terminal via a driverless train. It's newer and calmer, with more seating and a handful of lounges and restaurants.

Domestic Terminal

Domestic flights run from a separate, smaller section of the main terminal, with a quicker, more local feel and stalls selling Thai snacks and souvenirs.

Getting To and From Bangkok

The Airport Rail Link reaches Makkasan or Phaya Thai stations in 25-40 minutes, connecting onward to the BTS Skytrain. Taxis and Grab rides wait outside Arrivals for a direct route into the city, and car hire desks, shuttles and public buses are available at the Transport Centre.

Nearby Airport to Consider

Don Mueang International Airport (DMK), about 45 km north of central Bangkok, handles many of Bangkok's low-cost carriers and is often used for regional flights around Asia, with taxi and shuttle links between the two airports.
