- Arrivals - 1st floor
- Departures - 4th floor
The terminal is open 24 hours.
Transfer between flights
Transferring in Bangkok is relatively easy. While the airport is very large, it only has one terminal, so you don't have to deal with the often complicated travel from one terminal to another.

You don't have to leave the transit zone when you make an international transfer if you have flights on one ticket. You don't go through passport control, but you will go through security.
You'll go through the entire airport from one end to the other in about 25 minutes, which is also a realistic transfer time from one plane to the next. The lines at transfer security are usually short and very well organized.
If you continue on through Thailand, you must first go through immigration. Watch for signs directing you to departures to Chiang Mai, Phuket, Krabi, etc.

Is it possible to go to the lounges when changing planes, or are they outside passport control? With many thanks Alexandra
All lounges at Bangkok Airport are located after passport control, so it is possible to visit them during the transfer.
