You may think that it's always cheaper to travel by bus and train around Thailand, which is normally true. However, with the special deals offered by budget airlines, you can get unbelievably cheap tickets that cost less than a 3rd-class bus fare.
In this post, you will get an overview of airports in Thailand, airlines that fly domestically, as well as connecting ferry services to the islands.
Airports In Bangkok
Bangkok is a Southeast Asian travel hub, making it an affordable destination. There are two commercial airports in the city: Suvarnabhumi International Airport, also known as New Bangkok International Airport (BKK) and Don Muang International Airport, also known as Old Bangkok International Airport (DMK).
Suvarnabhumi, is the main airport and services both international and domestic flights. Don Muang, on the other hand, services mostly domestic flights and a small number of international flights.
Airports Outside Bangkok
There are 33 airports for passenger traffic outside Bangkok. Here are the 6 busiest ones: Phuket International Airport, Chiang Mai International Airport, Hat Yai International Airport, Krabi International Airport, Samui International Airport and Udon Thani International Airport.

It's known to be the most beautiful airport in the world for its unique architecture, featuring coconut wood, that blends in with the natural surroundings of the island.
