        "question": "How do I get to Don Mueang Intl Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "From central Bangkok, the cheapest way to reach Don Mueang Airport is by public bus, with routes like No. 29 from the Siam area (around THB 18) or Nos. 554/555 from Suvarnabhumi Airport (THB 23), though travel times can exceed an hour in traffic. Metered taxis are the most popular door‑to‑door option, costing roughly THB 200–220 from central districts plus a THB 50 airport surcharge and any tollway fees, with a typical trip of 30–60 minutes. A free shuttle bus connects Don Mueang to Suvarnabhumi Airport for those transferring between the two airports. Driving yourself is possible via the Don Mueang Tollway, but you’ll need to allow extra time for traffic and pay for parking at the terminal.",
