Bangkok Airport
- Suvarnabhumi -

Lasting Impressions....

"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

Good times

"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."

Not a bad place, but not great either

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! Perhaps because it is May, one of the hottest months, I did not feel the air conditioning to be unbearably cold, but I was glad to have the blanket, if only to block out the lights, which are never dimmed. This is a busy airport all through the night; only about half of the check-in counters closed and the noise level at check-in was constant. A weary traveler like me had no trouble sleeping with ear plugs, however. Bathrooms are clean and plentiful. The only cushion seats I found were at check-in, and people started sleeping/camping there early. The far end of the third floor is a quieter option, but the benches are hard (no arm rests). I did not sleep inside the terminal but security seems present and there are free internet terminals, from which I am currently reporting!

Um, you may want to rethink sleeping in this place

DO NOT sleep here...you will get your belongings stolen, even when they are right next to you. There is a place where you can check your items in for a fee, I highly suggest it if you do not have any fragile items. They do not have security cameras here so be very careful when sleeping!
