This is Asia’s Oldest Airport

DALLAS – For over a century, Bangkok’s Don Mueang Airport (DMK) has seen aircraft take off and land like no other airport in Asia.

It has served as an aerodrome during periods of war that often suffered heavy bombardment and was briefly left to rot. This was followed by worsening political instability and airport closures. But amidst it all, Don Mueang managed to pull through and remains one of the most active international airports in the present day.
