Hallo guys,

first of all thanks for all the useful posts about Thailand and Bangkok, especially in these difficult times!

I have a question regarding accessing Don Muang Aiport:

I am a photo journalist and my agency has just sent me over to Bangkok next week and I have a couple of "places" I need to cover for them, one beeing Don Muang Airport. I am very well aware that the Airport is closed and the whole area of Don Muang district is flooded. From my previous visits to Don Muang I remember an highway running parallel to the Airport. Can anybody answer the following questions?

- Is the highway parallel to the Airport still open?

- Can the Airport terminal still be accessed? Any of the car parks maybe?

- I think there was a railway running below the highway. Is that railway still running (or running again?)

- Does anybody know other places to snap shots of Don Muang airport besides the highway or carparks?

Thanks for any help! I am also aware that the recent captures of Thai aircraft at Don Muang airport led to the impression that BKK airport is closed as well. dam_n media!

Cheers,

Tom

- The express way is open.

- Don't know if you can access the airport from it easily, but I'm sure you can get onto the exit to the airport and then walk if you have to.

- There was no railway, and funnily enough, it isn't running again.

- It's not like there are any hills in the area, so unless you can find a tall building (which there aren't many out there near the airport) I don't think you'll have much luck.

Thanks for your help!
