Don Muang Airport - using the red line (to cross the road)...

[Bettyboo]

Hello Everyone, just a quick question in case you have experience (I can't find info on the interweb).

The wife is flying into DMK next week, arriving around 11pm then heading to Furture Park Rangsit the next morning to get a new passport. Obviously, the red line should be great, but we booked a hotel for the night (300 baht... ) - which is just across the road, through the redline airport station.

Buuuut. I know that many of these stations close their doors around the last train. I think some, like Siam Square, stay open because it's a road crossing as well as a BTS, so I am hoping that this airport station also stays open after midnight (the last train). It's kinda 50/50 whether she'd get through the airport intime to get through the station before midnight, so I was wondering if any of you have experience of this station?

I know that there are other walkways across the airport road, but they'd add to her journey, and she doesn't ant to take a taxi by herself at that time - the hotel is just 5 minutes walk if the redline station doors are open for her to walk through it...

Thanks.

about 3 minutes in - it looks like it is good

That station is not really near anything in DM. Seriously nobody can figure out why its there and not up by the temple. Its right next to the amphur office of DM and I dont know what kind of a hotel is near there. 11pm is late for DM. Be a nice long walk as its directly opposite of the old domestic terminal. Domestic terminal on the airport side and the DM amphur office on the other side.

Why is she going to Future Park when the main passport office is just up the road on Changwattana? Kid got her passport there easy peasy last year. 1.5 hours to get it all done. EMS'ed to the house in 2 more days.

I think I'd give my wife the cab fare and bugga the expense , probably less than one of your trophy edibles?

Probably not useful to Betty's wife, but for others, last time my wife renewed her passport, she did it in Udon Thani, saved a lot of bother going down to Bangkok. They have an office in Robinson shopping centre. Usual queuing for an hour or so and passport arrived at home 3 days later.
