6. Facilities around Don Mueang Airport (restaurant, happy card, free calling card, Thai baht exchange office)
1) magicfood, a cheap restaurant for airport staff at Don Mueang Airport (detailed walking route map of Magic Food at Don Mueang Airport in Bangkok)
Longman Airport also has staff restaurant MagicFood, which is recommended by many people. It's not just as famous as the one at the Vanknapp airport. The business hours here are from 5 am to afternoon 10. Suvarnabhumi Airport is open 24 hours a day. Need to buy tickets in advance! You can return it if you can't finish eating it! A mango rice is about 50 baht. Compared with the simple meal of 80 baht 120 baht in the airport lobby, this is much more cost-effective!
Netizen @ Adele wants to see the world share: the magical food at Bangkok's Don Mueang Airport is invincible, with per capita 10 yuan and plenty of meals. Where can I eat it in China? There is an exit between AirAsia baggage check-in counter No.2 and domestic departure counter No.3 in the departure hall. The left front of this exit is the AirAsia sales counter, and the right front is the international departure. See the noodles on the left upstairs? The passage to the magic food is under the raised floor.
2) Can I buy a happy mobile phone card at Don Mueang Airport?
There is a shop selling happy cards in the lobby on the first floor of Romantic Airport, but the 299 card sells 499B. I suggest you buy a 299B mobile phone card at 7- 1 1 outside the airport. On the right hand side of Gate 6 on the first floor, there is a Amaridon Mountain Hotel. Go up to the second floor, go straight along the passage to the end, get off the elevator to amari Hotel, go out and walk to the left for about 200 meters, and you will see Almighty 7- 1 1 at the intersection. Some shop assistants can speak simple Chinese, such as buying happy cards and setting up the Internet. Just buy a good card and let them help.
3) Is there a free calling card at Don Mueang Airport?
There are free calling cards. At the tourist information counter of Don Mueang Airport, there is a SIM card to make calls for free. Listen, it's free. Of course, there is not much left in it, just 15 baht; But a phone call or a text message is enough to tell you that it is safe to return home. If necessary, you can add value at 7- 1 1, which is very convenient.
4) What is the most cost-effective way to exchange Thai baht at Don Mueang Airport?
When you arrive at Don Mueang Airport, you will find many ATMs and foreign exchange shops. But the exchange rate at the airport exchange point is very low. I suggest you: get a Huaxia bank card in China and withdraw money from the ATM in Thailand for the first time every day. Only Thailand will charge a handling fee of 50B, no matter which UnionPay card is accepted.

This is the baggage claim area.
If you have friends who want to stay at the airport like us, be sure to bring a thick coat, because the air conditioning in the airport is not usually cold.
Because of the late arrival time. So I wandered around the old airport.
Whether you spend the night in the arrival hall or the departure hall, it is recommended to buy newspapers at convenience stores and take valuables with you. Sleep on the ground or bring your own disposable tablecloth
It feels comfortable to sleep on the ground! Because I arrived at the hall, the stool in the departure hall was uneven ~ I slept very comfortably! So hard! If you really want to sleep, the stool in the waiting room should be more comfortable.
