Bangkok Suvarnabhumi Airport
Lasting Impressions....
Memorable comments left by travellers:
"I was denied boarding and had to wait in transit at BKK for 24 hrs, then was removed by security beacuse after 24 hrs you are breaking some Thai law." (flleric)
"Despite the billions spent on it the new BKK airport is a bit of a joke - fires, crumbling runways and RAMPANT corruption have resulted in it being a national disgrace for the Thais." (Andrew)
"the new airport in Bangkok is all shine n pretty but lacking in substance." (?)
"Mindful of past reviews of this airport, I made sure to pinch an airline blanket from my incoming flight on Thai Airways - both the blanket and the airline are recommended!" - ensimismada
"It was not comfortable curled up on the hard bucket seats with all the bright lights and the sporadic announcements in several languages." - jessaminevillareal

"My husband and I stayed at Bangkok's new airport for one night at the end of December 2006 - we thought it was great. Basically we were too cheap to pay for a night's accommodation when we arrived at 11pm and were leaving at 7am. Seats very super comfortable (no arm rests), a few other sleeping so felt very safe, very clean and great toilets - we even got some noodles for about 50cents (Aus) so we were very happy. Would definitely sleep here again - one tip though - wear extra clothes, it was freezing."

I was coming from Phnom Penh, Cambodia en route to London. I was flying Singapore Airlines from Bkk to LHR. My ticket was purchased from overseas not by me. Apparently Singapore Airlines requires the presentation of a Credit Card. I was denied boarding and had to wait in transit at BKK for 24 hrs, then was removed by security beacuse after 24 hrs you are breaking some Thai law. I then had to wait 3 days in the check in area until this problem could be sorted out.Now you may ask why I didnt get a guest house... I thought I was booked and would be travelling all the way to LHR, this was not anticipated and my back still aches from those horrible plastic chairs on which I spent 5 days. The BKK airport police SUCK!!!
