oldmajor Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 Good Day All, I'm supposed to be leaving BKK for Singapore for a couple of days on Tuesday night. I see that Swampy is asking to get there early, but a buddy mentioned that the roads to the airport were blocked. Can anybody confirm or update this? Thanks a lot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmushr00m Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 Depends on your starting location. From where I am, the roads are open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jybkk Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 From eastern part of Bangkok, no road block did Swampy > Phra Khanong this morning. Sister in law went from Rangsit to the airport to day without trouble too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaengk Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 I've read the road to the port at Laem Chabang is blocked, but not Swampy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Livinginexile Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 I've read the road to the port at Laem Chabang is blocked, but not Swampy. What the hel_l is "swampy"? Are you refering to the re-claimed land the new airport was built on? Is this your un educated attempt to discredit a fine (one in many) infrastructure project that the Taksin administration undertook? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tartempion Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 (edited) Yes, an unpronounceable name for us farangs, therefore we invented an easier nickname derived from Cobra Swamp, thus Swampy, the area know as such before the megalomaniac project was undertaken. (and they still need to run a second airport to handle 40 domestic flights movements/day) Edit: and Livinginexile, it is not because you worked on that project that you have a world class airport, it is not. I worked on the Munich and Dubai airport projects and in my humble opinion The unpronounceable airport was not built for airline travellers.

terrier123 Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 One of the problems with thaivisa (apart from the pompous, self-rightous prigs who correct grammer etc) is that other posters evade the question. In this case the original poster simply asked if the roads to the airport are open. Simple yes/no/or accurate fact answers are only necessary.

Lucky I have food for a week and don't need to travel until next month. The Airport (Suvarnabhumi) that is still getting repairs because Thaksin rushed the job. He was waiting to change the area to Thaksin City. That didn't happen thank goodness. Thaksin is spelt T.H.A.K.S.I.N Mr.Red Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoonman Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 I've read the road to the port at Laem Chabang is blocked, but not Swampy. Which road is blocked, I travel to the port everyday (From Pattaya) and other than the road works creating havoc Ive not seen any closed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoonman Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 (edited) I stand corrected, Seems there has been some activity at the traffic intersection under the flyover next to Harbour Mall. Edited May 17, 2010 by Spoonman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you live on Silom or at Victory Monument, then yes....roads to Swampy are blocked. If outside redzone, then sounds like pretty good chance to make it without issue.

neverdie Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 Correct!I personally worked on this project and i can assure you it is world class! Of course somebody that worked on it would say that. Whilst it may be a fine airport & better than many of the airports I have used, it should be, its one of the newest & we don't need to debate its flaws, do we? By the way, were you responsible for the shemozal of a runway.....the one that keeps breaking apart .

As a matter of interest if it's so world class how come the runway was cracking up after a few months? Also the rest rooms are totally inadequate. Just a couple of examples that are certainly not world class. Fact is, it looks pretty but thats about it. Lastly, Swampy is nothing more than a harmless nickname. Surely there are more important things to get worked up about. Edited May 17, 2010 by carmine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crossy Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 In common with the names of prominent figures please avoid using nicknames, or at least mention the real name in your post title so that forum search and Google can find your thread. I've edited the thread title. And since this thread seems to have degenerated into a mud slinging match it's closed. If anything changes regarding airport access please start a new thread or PM a mod to re-open this one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
