Bangkok International Airport Terminal Information
Introduction
Bangkok International Airport has a complex of three terminals: International Terminals 1 and 2 and the Domestic Terminal. The International Terminals are built side by side. The Domestic Terminal is 500 metres from Terminal 2 and is connected by an air-conditioned walkway and a free-to-user bus shuttle. The terminals are constantly busy, as Thailand is a major destination for backpackers, business travellers and holidaymakers.
