I'm going to assume you are asking a serious question... The new airport won't be open 'til June 2006 at the earliest. Today's landings were just a face-saving exercise by Mr Big because he made the claim several years ago that the new airport would be ready on 29 September 2005. Mr Big landed at Suvarnabhumi Airport in a plane today, therefore he kept his promise. As I stated earlier, the whole farce today was disingenuous at best.

Won't be a problem, but customs may charge you import tax on your parachute.
