One thought: to turf a traveller in need out of a mosque/prayer room would be DISTINCTLY unIslamic. I think you might receive a welcome for your airbed, but be prepared to be asked to move for prayer times maybe. i ve always wondered what would happen if i tried to sleep in the muslim prayer room Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mac Mickmanus Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 Where are you flying from ? If you are flying from a local Thai airport , you would go through immigration in BKK rather than your local airport , so you would arrive land side in BKK 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can read here, but this site only goes to a maximum of 11 hours, as no one with any options would stay any longer. https://www.bangkok-travel-ideas.com/bangkok-airport-layover.html This was obviously written pre covid. I think you are correct that the Miracle Transit Hotel does not seem to be taking any bookings, as all dates I checked are closed. In any event you can only book 2 or 4 hour slots. Paid lounges may be an option, but most close between midnight and 5am, including Thai Airways, so you are going to have to find somewhere to have a rest when they are closed. Concourse C has some beds you can relax on, they used to be Lazy Boyz before they broke. Also there are toilets are nearby. Use these beds for the night time and then maybe book into one of the lounges for the day portion Whilst lounges may seem expensive, you won't need to buy food and WiFi there, so they work out reasonable. If you have your own bed then Concourse B is pretty quiet after midnight as that is where the Europe flights leave from. I really don't envy you. 24 hours is a long time. Sometimes there's no choice. Bring a good book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Per Ardua ad Astra I think I'm one of the few who may agree. Airports can be fascinating. Mixed with a lounge,phone, restaurants, people watching,time flys. Especially if you're on your way to a vacation. Heading home to work and mundane life might be different. You worked for renowned "Crab" airways. Airline for the rich and famous? Cool.
