        "answer": "A nonstop flight from Bangkok (BKK) to Trang (TST) takes about 1 hour and 20–30 minutes. No major airlines operate layover flights on this short domestic route."
      },
      "q3": {
        "question": "What are the ground transportation options in Trang?",
        "answer": "At Trang Airport, taxis are the most common and reliable way to reach the city center, about seven kilometers away; expect a short, straightforward ride. There is no mass transit or ride-share service at the airport, and car rental options are very limited, so a taxi is the best choice for most travelers.",

      "q13": {
        "question": "How do I get to Suvarnabhumi Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "From downtown Bangkok, the Airport Rail Link is the fastest and most popular way to reach Suvarnabhumi Airport, connecting Phaya Thai station to the terminal in about 30 minutes with frequent trains. Metered taxis and ride‑share services like Grab are available 24/7 and offer door‑to‑door convenience, though they cost more and can be slower in traffic. Public buses serve budget travelers with fixed routes from central areas, while self‑drive and rental cars are an option with parking at the airport. For a premium experience, AOT Limousine and electric VIP taxis provide private, fixed‑fare rides.",
