nope... take bus to Mo Chit from DMK is the cheapest alternatives.

Else, take taxi.

though this is a rather redundant question, but is it Uber/Grab available in DMK airport? tongue.gif

i think there's some area where there's still considerable distance from MRT/BTS station

actually bus is ok la, taken buses on SG and Kyoto before, the bus number can be found on Google Map, the station name is clearly displayed as well, of course don't compare to our RapidKL
