Suvarnabhumi Airport
Landed in the newest airport when it was into its fourth day of operation. I was anticipating for a super advance airport and to my surprise, I need to take a bus to the arrival hall after deplaning.
Suvarnabhumi Airport, meaning the Golden Land, boasted to be one of the biggest airport of late, stay true to its words. The Customs clearance and the baggage claim is really huge. 23 lanes if I am not mistaken. Each separated by about 10meters? But the surrounding was a little disappointment. It’s dull and not much of color, grey is the main color. And the arrival hall was really small. I felt like a superstar greeted by the fans when I walked through the arrival hall.
On the other hand, I found that the duty free area was really great. It was more like a shopping complex than a duty free complex. And to walk from one end to the other end, it’s like forever. And they have an observation deck, well to see the planes take off. But most of the view is already block by the structure of the roof.
