TLDR : Answer Summary

When traveling by train from Nongkhai to Bangkok, the best stop depends on your destination airport. For Suvarnabhumi Airport, it's recommended to get off at Hua Lamphong train station and then transfer to the MRT for the Airport Rail Link. Alternatively, for Don Muang Airport, you can get off at Bang Sue Grand Station, switch to the SRT Red Line which connects directly to the airport. There are various transfer options, including using BTS SkyTrain, although it doesn't directly connect to either airport.

If Don Muang, then there's a station right next to the airport. However, I'm not sure whether there are currently any international flights operating out of there. Presumably Air Asia has resumed some services, but you'll have to check. Otherwise, go all the way to the last station then catch a cab to the ARL station and catch the train to Suvarnabhumi airport.

It's very simple:

1) Get off the train at Bang Sue Grand Station

2) If your flight leaves from Don Mueang Airport, take the SRT Red Line to Don Mueang. DONE.

3) If your flight leaves from Suvarnabhumi Airport, take the MRT to Petchaburi station. Go upstairs to Airport Rail Link(Makkasan)...then take that to the airport. DONE.

For Don Muang, the long-distance train will probably even stop at Don Muang station on the way to Bang Sue, making things even easier.

You've gotten many answers, so I can tell you what NOT to do. Don't get on a motorcycle taxi. They get off on scaring tourists.

Yes, I did this before. Take BTS to airport. Just get BTS routes and train route (or ask at train station) and figure out where get off to take BtS to airports

BTS doesn't go to either airport. DMK is served by the SRT Red Line, and Suvarnabhumi by the Airport Rail Link (ARL).

If it's Don Muang the train stops outside the airport. If its Savarnabhumi then probably best to get into town and use the Metro or BTS.

If you are going to don Muang you go to Bang sun station and change to red line …if to Suvarnabhumi ( more likely) go to Hua Lampang train station and get MRT linking to airport line
