Distance between airports 50 km, therefore, they can be overcome only by transport. I will list below all ways.

Free shuttle bus
A free shuttle bus runs between the airports from 5 am to 24
Every 30 minutes: from 5:00 to 8:00, from 11:00 to 16:00, from 19:00 to 24:00 Every 20 minutes: from 8:00 to 11:00, from 16:00 to 19:00.
Travel time in normal time: about 1 hour. Travel time per hour peak: from 1.5-2 hours. Lay more time waiting for the shuttle.
The shuttle leaves from the 2nd floor of Suvarnabhumi Airport (zone arrival) from exit number 3 and arrives in the departure area airport Don Muang. That is, you after arrival in Suvarnabhumi you will need to leave the arrival hall and walk to the same floor exit to the street. He will be on the right hand if facing the exits to the street. Then just go out and there will immediately be Shuttle stop. If you need to drive back from Don Muang to Suvarnabhumi, then look for a way out in Don Muang №6.
The bus is free, goes non-stop. To ride it to you You need a ticket, for example, a boarding pass or just an electronic ticket (you can show on the phone screen) with departure from Don Muang to same day At the shuttle desk will check your tickets and put stamp on the hand. Not always can meticulously check tickets, but I would did not count on it. If there is no ticket, you have to do it though. it would be a reservation, they still do not break it, at least when I there was the last time.

Taxi and transfer online
Since time to transplant must be laid decently especially if you are at peak hours, it is often easier take a taxi. I usually drive like this, as I come to the shuttle, but right here literally half an hour is not enough for him go, and in the end I go by taxi.
It is inexpensive – about 300-500 baht, depending on traffic jams and, accordingly, the duration of the trip. Go somewhere 40 minutes, again like traffic jams. Taxi is the fastest way. Of course, Need to go to the public taxi on the counter or through the application GrabTaxi, otherwise the cost will be close to 1000 baht fixed.
As an option, in advance take a transfer by ordering it online through Kiwitaxi. Then you will be met with a sign and without any extra actions. immediately take to Don Muang, well, or in the opposite direction. True price 2 times more expensive than a public taxi on the counter. So let’s say overpayment for minimizing action and lack need to look for something at the airport.

Metro + taxi or bus
Doubtful option, since it is more economical than going Immediately go by taxi, but not by much, and it takes decent time. First, go down to the lowest floor of Suvarnabumi and sit on Airport Link. Reach the end to Phaya Thai station, where necessary will take the metro BTS and it will take you to the BTS Mo station Chit. Travel time is about 1 hour. Cost about 100 baht with people for 2 metro lines. Next, go out, take a taxi and Approximately 150-200 baht on the counter you arrive at Don Muang airport. This is somewhere around 20 minutes. In total, this method will take about 1.5 hours.
Everything is the same as in the previous method, only in general without a taxi. The most economical and longest way. Getting to the station BTS Mo Chit on the subway with one change. But now we must not take a taxi to the airport, and wait for the bus. I will not tell you the number, I do not know. Ride he will be about 30 minutes.
Bus
Near the airport there is a bus terminal. There you can sit on bus 555, which takes you to Don Muang. Ticket costs about 45 baht
How much time to lay on the transplant
Also very often asked. Let’s try to count.
- Passport control in Suvarnabhumi and baggage claim takes from 30 minutes to 2 hours. Yes, yes, when many flights, you can stubble there for 2 hours, he ran into it himself. So, that when you come to the baggage claim, the suitcases are already lying just on the floor, and on the tape is expected to be issued from another flight. However, if you have children with you, then Thais will most likely miss you. through the booth for Thais and diplomats. Also those who receive a visa on arrival (VOA), they can even 3 hours with all registrations.
- If you need to withdraw money from an ATM, exchange currency, buy sims, it will take a total of 30 more minutes
- The shuttle ride takes about 1.5 hours along with its waiting, and a taxi about 1 hour. Rush hour may be longer longer. In any case, I would have laid at least 1.5 hours for everything about everything.
- Check-in for local flights ends in 45 minutes, but I I personally prefer to come in 2 hours, having reserve an hour, you never know what will happen on the way, and the airport will plugging.
Total it turns out that you need to lay at least 4 hours between arriving in Suvarnabhumi and departure from Don Muanga Of course, it all depends on how quickly passport passes. control (maybe half an hour in all) what are you going to do in Suvarnabhumi (currency, sims), on what you will go to the airport, and how well, you prefer to come for registration. I would mortgage generally 5 hours (6 hours at rush hour). Better in Don Muang wait and quietly eat or drink coffee, but less hassle will be.
P.S. Just in case. If you fly with Thai Airways or Bangkok Airways, then they fly out of Suvarnabhumi, and if you do a transplant on them, then you are not from Suvarnabhumi anywhere need to.
