TRAVEL EXPERIENCES How to Take the Free Shuttle Now that Bangkok has two airports, you may have to transfer from one airport to another. Is there a free airport shuttle in Bangkok? Yes, the free shuttle from Don Muang to Suvarnabhumi is the most convenient and cost-effective way to transfer between the airports. This was the case recently when we traveled from Thailand to Luang Prabang, Laos. LIFESTYLE Best K-beauty Products for Black Skin Before moving to South Korea, my skincare routine was minimal at best—if I managed to wash my makeup off before bed, I considered it a win. Back then, I didn’t think I needed a skincare regimen. You’d never guess that was the case; I’m a skincare enthusiast. Although I don’t use all these products daily, I’ve found several favorites among Korean skincare offerings that are great for anti-aging, reducing hyperpigmentation, and enhancing skin brightness.
