Note: this hotel does not have a view.
To our knowledge, there is no hotel here (or certainly not one of any quality) that provides an airport view. However, because of the Observation Deck here, it isn’t needed.
The Amari appears to be the nicest hotel at Don Mueang and is connected to the terminal via walkway. So from your room to the Observation Deck (OD) took 10 minutes. At the OD you can see all movements, can see many (but not all parking stands) and can additionally see the RTAF ramps opposite (albeit some aircraft are rear on). The length of the OD allowed different better angles to be had on the RTAF aircraft. Although there were signs saying no photography there was no issue at all taking photographs, even in front of the routine security patrols.
30 seconds walk from the OD is a food court with many options, both Asian and (sadly) the usual BK, Subway etc. for those who have no taste buds or sense of adventure!
Taking the train one stop south of the airport will allow you to view the executive and stored aircraft at the south end of the civilian apron. Additionally aircraft of the Royal Thai Police, Royal Thai Survey Division & AeroThai, plus other stored aircraft, can be seen on their apron on the south-east corner of the airfield. (Some can be seen from the OD but not to identify). From taking photos from the train we were able to tie up all aircraft.
Elsewhere we have seen reference to also taking the train one stop north to view the storage ramp at that end as well. However buildings prevent this. You do get a limited view of this ramp from the OD, enough to identify the stored Orient Thai airliners here, but sadly they block views of the stored RTAF Superjets also on this ramp.
Cost for a twin room at the Amari was £64.00 per room.
