Tips
Get a discounted Thailand SIM card with an internet plan at Don Mueang Airport and stay connected during your trip on the SRT Red Line commuter train. In case your phone is eSIM compatible, book online a Thailand eSIM and use the internet right after landing.
To make traveling on the train more comfortable, leave your unnecessary bags at Don Mueang Airport luggage storage and travel lightly.
If you are landing at Don Mueang and want to take a long-journey train to Northern or Northeast Thailand on the same day, you don't need to take the SRT Red Line to Krung Thep Aphiwat, as these trains also stop at Don Mueang SRT station. Train tickets for such a journey need to be booked well in advance, and it can be done online here: Train tickets at Don Mueang.
The SRT Red Line is just one part of the complex mass rapid transit system in the Thai capital. To make the most of your visit, get familiar with other metro lines in Bangkok.
