I am traveling to Thailand again in 2 weeks and for the 1st time my girlfriend is going to be meeting me at the airport. However i have had a slight memory block and am un-clear of the location of the actual meeting point as the only map i have found seems to be confusing.

She will be getting a Taxi there what is the best Door number for her to aim for? Also am i remembering correctly that she just then needs to go down one floor from a standard escalator and then hang around near Door 3 on the 3rd Floor (the check-in floor being the 4th according to the map i found anyway).

I did try and search before posting so i apologize if i missed a duplicate topic.

I have seen signs to this mysterious 'meeting point', but have never seen it, whatever it may be. Just tell her to meet you at a certain door no. on a certain floor - I reckon even a Thai could cope with that.

Meeting point is on the 3rd floor (where the walking bridges to parking lot are) exactly in the middle.

Hi, Tell her to look out for someone wearing a yellow shirt - I'm sure they'll be glad to assist.

as it happens you may not be far from the truth i just found out that my flight from Heathrow has been redirected to Singapore onto Sidney even tho the airport is open and planes are landing. I have tried to convince them that the airport is open and planes are landing but they said that they only go off what the foreign office advises them. In one call however someone even told me that they go off the BBC website and it says that the airport is closed and they have closed another one now. Because ovcourse the BBC website is a hive of accurate information for Thailand.

I am booked on the flight on the 29th now lets hope that they decide its safe by then.

Hi Mike, serious answer this time - sorry couldn't resist before.

The government has now declared a state of emergency, and has stated that Suvarnabhumi airport will be open by 6pm 29th (saturday). keep reading the new on this site for updates - it's far more reliable than the BBC.

Good luck to you, hope all goes well.

Incidentally, I arrived here a couple of weeks ago, before the PAD business, and my wifes family had difficulty moving around inside the airport, due to security. It may well be wise to have a back up plan for meeting your lady.
