How to Get from Ban Phe to Don Mueang Airport
From Ban Phe to Don Mueang you take a private taxi, 2,299 THB per car for about 3 h 15 min, or a bus to Bangkok and a city transfer to the north. The public route is much cheaper per person and takes most of a day.
Booked taxi
The driver waits at the pier where your boat lands and drives straight to the departures level at Don Mueang. The fare is fixed per car with tolls inside. A family of four with cases fits the Toyota Innova at 2,599 THB.
The car is the sensible choice for a flight, because the airport is on the far side of the city.
Bus and train
A bus from Ban Phe takes you to a Bangkok terminal such as the Eastern Bus Terminal at Ekkamai. From there a combination of the BTS, the Airport Link or a taxi reaches Don Mueang, which sits at the other end of the city. Expect to change at least once with your bags.
Plan this only if you have a night in Bangkok before the flight.
Flight timing
Low-cost airlines often close their counters earlier than other carriers. Take the stricter time into account. The ferry from the island runs until 18:00, so an evening flight needs a morning or midday boat.
