Bangkok is served by two main airports with distinct roles. Suvarnabhumi (BKK) is the international hub handling most long-haul and full-service carriers, typically perceived as mid-to-upper range for fares; it lies about 30–35 km east of the city centre. Transport options include the Airport Rail Link (~30–45 minutes to central Bangkok) and taxis or ride-shares (30–60 minutes depending on traffic, fares vary), plus airport buses. Don Mueang (DMK) is closer to northern Bangkok (about 20–25 km) and functions as a low-cost and domestic gateway for budget airlines, often offering cheaper ticket options. From Don Mueang you can reach central areas by bus, taxi or shuttle in roughly 30–60 minutes; fares are usually lower but can rise with heavy traffic. Pros: Suvarnabhumi provides extensive international connections and modern facilities; Don Mueang can be cheaper and quicker for domestic or low-cost travellers. Cons: both can be affected by Bangkok’s heavy road congestion, and transfers between airports may add time and cost.

Mandalay International (MDL) is Myanmar’s primary international gateway for the Mandalay region, serving a mix of full-service and regional carriers and handling both international and domestic flights. It’s located roughly 35–40 km north of Mandalay city center, with taxi rides typically taking about 45–60 minutes depending on traffic and costing in the range of modest local fares; shared shuttle or hotel transfers can be cheaper per person. The airport offers basic passenger facilities and can be more streamlined than larger hubs, which may mean quicker processing but fewer retail or lounge options. Pros: direct links for regional travel and less congestion; cons: longer road transfer to the city and limited on-site services compared with bigger international airports.
