Don Mueang International Airport is a near sea-level field at 9 ft (3 m), positioned at 13.9126° N, 100.6070° E in the Northern tropics. The runway snapshot lists 2 runways and a longest runway of 12,139 ft / 3,700 m. The airport clock uses Asia/Bangkok (ICT, UTC+07:00), so cross-date arrivals should be checked against this zone rather than the airline origin city.
Anusawari is the closest retained city-time anchor at 2.1 km. BKK Bangkok is the closest retained airport alternative at 30 km.
DMK is compared with BKK Bangkok at 30 km inside the retained Thailand airport set, which is useful when backup airports share the same country context but differ by city, route network, and clock behavior.
DMK-PNH Phnom Penh (Pou Senchey): 530 km, about 1h 30m, +0h. DMK-KTI Phnom Penh (Boeng Khyang): 547 km, about 1h 32m, +0h. These are distance and timezone references, not live flight availability claims.
OurAirports ident VTBD backs the stable code, coordinate, elevation, and timezone record. airportthai.co.th is attached as the official airport website. en.wikipedia.org is used only as supporting reference context. Snapshot date: 2026-05-25.

Airports of Thailand is the clearest operator or management signal we currently have on file for DMK.
These operational notes prefer the structured airport facts snapshot, then fall back to the accepted airport reference at airportthai.co.th, then blend that with local timezone, route, and city-access data already on this page.
These are the specific situations where this airport page earns its keep: time-zone conversion, city transfer planning, nearby airport backup logic, and source-confidence checks before acting.
DMK uses Asia/Bangkok (ICT, UTC+07:00). Use this before overnight arrivals, cross-date departures, and same-day connections.
Don Mueang International Airport is about 21 km from central Bangkok; build that transfer into arrival and check-in planning.
BKK Bangkok is the closest retained alternate at 30 km, time difference +0h.
airportthai.co.th is listed as the official airport website in the airport facts snapshot; live schedules, gates, routes, terminals, and NOTAM-sensitive operations still need official airport or airline verification.
These comparisons place DMK inside the retained airport graph by country, timezone, elevation, and coordinate neighbors. They are deterministic dataset facts, not generated flight claims.
DMK ranks #2 in the curated Thailand airport set when large airports are listed before medium airports, then sorted by IATA code. The retained country set has 2 airports.
DMK shares Asia/Bangkok with BKK Bangkok TH · HAN Hanoi (Soc Son) VN · HPH Haiphong (Hai An) VN. This helps separate same-clock airports by city, country, code, and geography.
