I think that 'sweatybum' would be a better nickname but no-one seems to use it!

Yes, especially in business class.

Take a shower, shave, change shirts at the first stop.

Well rested look like a million bucks.

Green and crinkled.

I do. Swampy or Banggers. If you've ever walked aroung Silom Rd with greyish water up to your knees, that would be a good reason to call it Swampy.

Like a million bucks?

You mean a sort of green colour and a bit scruffy and dirty around the edges, maybe even a bit wrinkled?

How did your check in go at the airport. I had one family in my line ,that didn't understand that they needed to follow the instructions on the fingerprint machine and press hard while pressing the screen! 

The IO called for assistance ,apparently a specialist,they in-turn called for a translator! It was Quite timely  !!

 

Welcome back!

It's quite fitting really - although Suvarnabhumi means "land of gold" the actual land they built it on was in a place called Cobra Swamp. Not to mention if you say swamp-oom to any taxi driver they will understand.

I dont see the OP point, He has an Non O extension and he got in with no problem as majority of the story's you here of being denied entry is people on visa waivers and tourist visas.

You've been in Thailand, the home of the bum gun, multiple times and have never used one?

Guess some members feel they have to be unkind and make unkind comments to get there count up. I understand what its like to take a 18 or 20 hour flight before the hours of check ins and security checks. Why is it important to unnecessarily criticize the poster for using the word Swampy. My wish is that the moderators would just delete the hundreds of negative stuff posted on TV blogs and especially on Thai news articles.

I'm not sure that that would have a positive impact on "eyeballs" which is what the advertisers demand

That comment should be in the jokes section.  Good planning for connected flights is to spend as little time in airports as at all possible.

PS not everyone is flying first/business and has access to "enjoyable" lounges.

Seems you have never flown business class.

A nice 2 hour layover is refreshing.  A shower, fresh food and drink, couches to relax, massage chairs, etc.

Gosh, I guess some of us have to do it. It is wonderful and the only way to fly. Not to mention the priority fast track at immigration.

Try it sometime, sure beats rushing to your next connection in coach.

Origionally it was a swampy delta full of olive trees. It still is, minus the olive trees. That's Kruntep I mean. Suvarnabhumi came w a y after the name Swampy.

You'de think that after all this time they would have realised water runs down hill. Hello Pattaya beach.

It's all taking the p here sometimes mate. Mostly from the sad Arsenal and West Ham loving brits stuck in lousy weather in some run down council flat with the yammering drunken cows they call women and jealous of us higher class and more successful Yanks whose leader has a far better combover than theirs. 

 

Take it all in stride then, ok dude?

Well yah, but sprayed water is innocuous and harmless 

 

Please don't tell me that YOU do an internal cleanse...those things have an odd shape it must hurt.

Our yammering drunken cows aren't as fat as yours. Combover? Our leader, Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson, now that's proper posh, posher than any US president, doesn't need a combover, he doesn't even posess a comb.

 

Away with you American braggards!

You can rent space in the flying petri dish, but paying more for the same filth and germs is silly.

 

And the there are guys like me, green with envy at the hiso business classers. I board early due to injury and make sure I sneeze slot in the area.

 

Wiped off your chair with Clorox in the lounge did you? The guy who sat there before didn't wash his hands after that steaming biz class dump.

That sounds like the name of a pedigreed terrier for God's sake.

 

Speaking of Brits, there was a Pommy next to me in full yob display who zipped right thru too. Friendly bloke,but I couldn't understand a word he was saying. Least the Aussies are decipherable.

 

Hey by the way I saw a brit (Arsenal jersey and all) fall down the stairs at Nanaplaza last night. He didn't feel a thing, got up, and staggered away. Made me proud of our little retarded cousins! Gawd save the Queen!

[SteveK]

I'm also one of your retarded cousins but I agree with your comment re: looking like a bum after a monster flight. How hard could it possibly be to turn one of the numerous bogs on the plane into a shower? A shower and shave and change of clothes mid-flight would make me change my mind entirely about long haul flights, even if I had to pay for the pleasure. Sitting in your own sweat for 12 or more hours is degrading. Ten times worse if you've boozed it up at the airport and have to experience the feelings of sobering up then getting a hangover blow by blow without the benefit of the unconsciousness in between.

He'd probably just watched the game and was trying to buy the farm.

 

Typical Arsenal, he narrowly failed.

Can't be hard to have a shower in them now. I always transfer at Dubai and both legs have lots of Indians on them. If you use the toilet after them, it's always soaking wet from floor to ceiling. If they're not having a shower, what are they doing?

Well they don't sit on the seat, they squat on it wearing their shoes, then use water from the tap to wet their hand and rinse their anus with it. That water on the walls will no doubt contain a huge amount of faecal matter, as I imagine would their clothes, but that's something I suspect they are used to.

Thanks for the visual I just sat down to a hearty dinner of Lobio at Argo. Read your post while putting a spoonful of brown chunky food in my slavering gob. Bon appetit!

 

Trivia: Did you know that iosef vissarionavich's fav dish was lobio?

[SteveK]

It wouldn't surprise me at all that Stalin liked to eat chilli con carne without the carne, and without the flavour. Maybe that was what made him so angry.

Moved this topic from the Bids forum to the Suvarnabhumi airport forum.

I was given a days solitary for putting a laughing emoji next to a mod's genuinely funny comment.

How did you know the IO was giving the people in front of you a hard time when you have to stand 50 metres behind them ?
