Surviving Suvarnabhumi Airport
Are you ready to tackle one of the world's largest airports? Suvarnabhumi International Airport in Bangkok is a modern marvel that replaced the old Don Muang Airport after its 50 years of service. While Don Muang still operates primarily domestic flights in Thailand, it isn’t maintained as well as before. Its airline code has changed from BKK to DMK.
Suvarnabhumi International Airport (BKK), with its stunning glass and steel architecture, will leave you in awe. As you make your way to Immigration, the grandeur of the structure and the beautiful artworks will captivate you. However, be prepared for a long walk from your gate to the Immigration booths. It can feel like miles, so make use of the horizontal escalators if needed. Don’t forget to smile for the camera when you show your passport.
After clearing Immigration, your next task is to locate your luggage. Look for a large display that shows all airline logos, flight numbers, and the designated carousel for your bags. With about 30 different carousels, finding the right one can save you time. Your luggage should already be there, thanks to the lengthy trek from the arrival gate.
Once you have your bags, head to the "Nothing to Declare" line and prepare to navigate a swarm of arrival signs and eager taxi drivers. Turn right and take the escalator down to the first floor, where you’ll find the official taxi stand. Smokers can take a moment for a cigarette here.
At the taxi stand, simply tell the attendant your destination, and you’ll have a taxi in moments. Whether you're heading to Bangkok, Pattaya, or elsewhere, you’ll be on your way quickly. Travel times to hotels in Bangkok vary from 30 minutes to 2 hours, depending on traffic and time of day. It's wise to plan for about an hour.
Suvarnabhumi can be overwhelming for first-time visitors to Bangkok and even for those familiar with Don Muang Airport. Fortunately, there are clear English signs to guide you. Although it involves a lot of walking, the excitement of finally being in Bangkok will carry you through.
