AD PLACEMENT — CONTEXTUAL
The international and domestic sections are physically connected within the same terminal complex via a landside walkway, so there is no shuttle or train required. However, passengers moving from international arrivals to a domestic departure must clear Thai immigration and customs first, and those moving from domestic to international must check in and pass through security and immigration again, which adds significant time beyond the physical walk.
