Bangkok is served by two main airports with distinct roles. Suvarnabhumi (BKK) is the international gateway and full-service hub, handling most long-haul and full-service carriers; it typically offers a wide range of lounges, shops and transfer facilities. Located about 30–40 km east of the city centre, travel by Airport Rail Link plus BTS can take roughly 30–50 minutes; taxis or ride-hailing usually take 30–60 minutes depending on traffic and can feel pricier during peak hours. Don Mueang (DMK) operates mainly as a low-cost and domestic-focused airport, used by several budget carriers for short-haul regional flights. It lies about 20–25 km north of central Bangkok, with buses, taxis and occasional shuttle options taking around 30–60 minutes to reach the city; fares are generally lower than premium services. Pros: Suvarnabhumi is convenient for international connections and modern facilities, while Don Mueang can offer cheaper fares and quicker check-ins for domestic or regional trips. Cons: both can be affected by heavy traffic to the centre, and transfers between the two airports may require extra time and planning.
Fly direct from Bangkok to Balikpapan for the fastest, most convenient way to get between Thailand and East Kalimantan — fewer hassles, no long layovers, and more time to enjoy your trip. While some connecting options can be cheaper, choosing a nonstop saves hours and adds comfort, making it ideal for business trips or maximizing your holiday. Book early to lock in the best direct fares and travel stress-free.
Sultan Aji Muhammad Sulaiman Sepinggan International Airport (BPN) is Balikpapan’s primary gateway and a regional hub for East Kalimantan, handling a mix of full-service and low-cost carriers on domestic and occasional international routes. Flights are often competitively priced compared with other Indonesian hubs, especially for business and resource-industry traffic. The airport sits roughly 8–10 km north of downtown Balikpapan; road transfer by taxi or ride-hail typically takes 20–35 minutes depending on traffic, with fares usually in the modest local range, while airport shuttles and private transfers can offer predictable timing. Pros: convenient access to city hotels and reliable domestic connections; cons: can be busy during peak business periods and facilities are utilitarian rather than luxurious.
