Suvarnabhumi Airport Misc

[Soju]

There's a sticky post in the Travel Forum that has important Don Muang phone numbers. Might be good if someone has an updated list to update that and post it as a sticky post here also, along with this airline phone number list.

List dates from 2006.

Can anybody tell me if this building is at Suvarnabhumi airport ?

I am glad that the airport had upgraded some of the male toilets with more urinals. Please add as many as possible in the male toilets for the convenience of the travellers. It's a shame that the male toilets in the giant airport could not even compare with the male toilets in a small shopping centre!!!

SUVARNABHUMI AIRPORT IS NOW SHUT DOWN.11PM THURSDAY NIGHT

There is a plan on the main runway with a wheel problem and no planes can land or take off.

Does anyone have more information on this? 1000's of people at ticket counters upset at being stuck. Flights trying to land at Suvarnabhumi being diverted to Don Muang.

More information??

I have about 8 hours between flights at Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK airport).

Is there anywhere I can get a good 6 hours sleep ? Are there are rooms around the airport or in the airport itself, which I can rent for a short period of time to grab some good shut eye ?

Thanks

There is a hotel at the airport, and others located close by (and much cheaper) that would be suited for this.

There isn't much chance of getting 6 hours sleep though. 1 hour (minimum) to get out of the airport and to the hotel. 30 min - 1 hour to get up and back to the airport. 1-2 hours required to check in and go through immigration.

[dazdaz]

Which hotel is at the airport ? Please write to me privately if you can't via the forum due to the rules.

On this website, it suggests that BKK airport has a day rooom.

Judging by the picture, does a day-room mean a place that you can sleep ?

Not sure about the "day room", but the pictures are quite old. The security (x-ray machines) are now just the other side of immigration and placed around the terminal as shown.

Louis Tavern day rooms at Suvarnabhumi here...... http://dayrooms-ciplounges.themiraclegroup.com/

You mentioned that the layout of the airport was quite old on that website.

Can you point me to an upto date map ?

Also, is the meeting point still in the middle of level 3 ?

Cheers

hello guys.

quick question, who / where to contact at suwannaphumi,

missed my flight last march back to finland,

because the flight exist but it wasnt on screens.

my wife and relatives were there as well,

so i can prove this.

typical, i was told the next evening when got a place, officer told me that i was

only one which missed the flight.

well, stood very close to that officer and after me appeared 5 farangs that

had the same missed flight day before, and talked with them.

so, officer got quite a face

unfortunately for her, i speak fluent thai as well.

--

i have chatted about this online with some

officers in bkk, but not real mail-addresses / contact infos given.

or replies.

contacted to IATA, but they said this was

airport´s mistake,so IATA cant help

coming back to thailand in a few weeks, i think i will give some

´feedback´ when i am back there.

this sh-t cost +6000 baht more.

cheers!

If you are Star Alliance Gold of flying business class with any *A carrier then the 4 smaller Thai airways lounges have "slumber rooms" with beds to sleep in.

Warning

I came back from holliday a few days ago and as i had 3 packets oif rolling tobacco too much with me i tried to go through the red channel. At the red i told them the story, they said no problem and told me to go through the green exit. Well past the custom on the outside i was standing changing sim card in my phone when a very agressive custom or police contacted me, how much tobacco i had and where i had it. I had three big suitcases packed to the brim, two hand luggage and on top my 8 year old son. i told him the thruth and showed him the sealed full packet bought from tax free with rolling tobac, and said i had three single packets in suitcase. I also told him that i had been speaking to the people at red and that they gave me permission to go through green. Very agressive he told me to open the suitcases. Lucky for me there came an older custom officer and when i told the story again he just waived me on. This guy who stopped me smelled of alcohol, and i dont know if he was working with the guys in red on the inside, but the older guy saved me from a lot of trouble thats for sure. Stupid me, hereafter i demand to pay my tax.

I am always amused ,when I come through Suvarnabhumi that as soon as I make a move towards the Red gate to declare my medication,

the people on 'duty ?' get panicked looks on their faces and frantically indicate to me that I should go straight through and not to bother them !!

I often think...'well what if I'm carrying something illegal ?.....

Definitely strange behaviour......

[tifino]

I always make it a point to go Red when have my meds.

I don't wait for them to wave me off, as I push my doctor's letter over the counter, and I never get asked anything further.

Anyone looking for an up-to-date list of Hotels at/near Suvarambhumi - go to the www.booking.com website.

The airport is located in Bang Sao Thong, Samut Prakan.

There's something like 21 odd hotels surrounding the, mainly Northern, direction from the airport, with varying ***** stars quality. Good ones can be found from the list, at a third or better cost of the Suvarnambhumi Novotel itself.

There is another, within the Airport building itself, charged by the number of hours you want, only Single rooms though, and cost much more even than the Novotel rate.

If you are hjust off the plane, about to Check Into fly, or just visiting the Airport and are hungry: The only worthwhile (cost-wise) eatery is the one on the Western end of Level One. It's pretty well smack on accurate with the authentic tastes of real Thai food. I wish all cafes had the same Coupon system for purchases, as it save a lot of stuffing around with loose change.
