About A4 Bus | Don Muang Airport to Khao San Road

The A4 Bus service connects DMK Airport to Bangkok City Center. The A4 bus Bangkok is really a convenient, quick and cheap way to get to Khao San Road from DMK Airport.

As it happened, I wanted to board the bus quick so I headed straight to the DMK airport exit as soon as I received my Thai Visa on arrival. But the problem was I wasn’t clear which bus goes from DMK airport to Khao San Road.

Taking the bus from Bangkok airport to khao san road is simple, simply follow the instructions mentioned in this travel blog.

I have taken the A4 DMK airport bus myself and will guide you from my own experience. I have also included the a4 Bangkok Airport bus price, timing and schedule. 

The lack of public transport in Bangkok is however not entirely correct, as on the road just outside the Don Muang airport there are two bus stops on either direction.

The challenge often is to understand the bus routes and on top of that the Thai bus conductors more often than not do not understand English. Read on, if you want the express bus from Don Muang airport to city (khao san, sanam luang area).

The best and cheap(est) way to get from Don Muang Airport to Khao San Road is to take the a4 airport bus. This Bangkok airport bus can be taken right at the arrival gate.

PS: You can also take the bus 59 to Khao San but it doesn’t go through express way and so is terribly slow. From Don Muang bus 59 (Bus 59 route) costs about 30 Baht can be taken after you exit the airport after you come out from the right of the arrivals. I’d not recommend this though. The bus is not very frequent as well. I waited for it once for about 40 minutes and yet it didn’t show up.
