onzestan Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 Hi there, I cannot begin to imagine that I am the only smoker that is seeking info about smoking at the new airport , so here are my questions : - are there smoking cubicles in the transit area ? - any of the lounges, cafés or other where one can light one ? Thanks beforehand for any outcome regards onzestan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jockstar Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 I was there today and i'm sure i saw a place to smoke, I THink! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samtam Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 I was there today and i'm sure i saw a place to smoke, I THink! I noticed smoking rooms, (glass boxes) as I came off my plane last night. Rather stupidly the doors of these (very small) rooms had their doors open, so that all the smoke was happily drifting through the walkways from the arrival gate to immigration. Not clear on the strategy of this, but maybe there isn't one, like a number of other not-well-thought-out features. As to smoking rooms before departure, I did not see any, but then I wasn't looking. But they may have suffered the same fate as the loos, which are there, but just not signposted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks beforehand for any outcome regards onzestan No, you are not the only one interested in this topic! I'll be flying out soon and would also like to know if there are smoking areas, especially after passing outbound immigration where we "bad" guys can tank up on nicotine prior to boarding a very long NON-smoking flight. I guess that before passing immigration it should be possible to walk out into the open and light up, or did they ban it there now as well? opalhort Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smoking outside the terminal is no problem, same as in Don Muang. I would also be interested if there is a smoking section/room in the Thai lounges. crockett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crockett Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 Seems like no smoking frequent flyers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opalhort Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 (edited) Seems like no smoking frequent flyers? Looks like all the "frequent smokers" are taking a boat nowadays since we are no longer allowed to satisfy our addiction on normal means of transport. Seriously now: after passing outbound Immigration, are there any areas/rooms where an addict can light up before boarding the plane? opalhort Edited October 6, 2006 by opalhort Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james512 Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 I flew out on Emirates last week. At the emirates gate, i forget the number, i did not see any place to smoke. However, i was looking to buy something to drink (beer) and had a look around. I didn't find anything to drink but i did find a smoking room downstairs at the few gates where the japanese flights were leaving from. The airport had only been opened a day and the ashtray was overflowing. Disgusting really, it almost made me think about giving up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axel Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 (edited) When HKG opened the new airport a few years back, there was not a single smoking area. They had planned for it but it was just not ready. Lateron they added first some smoking rooms downstairs and subsequently sep. many (too many?) rooms close to the gates both at departure and at arrival. Believe the same will be done in BKK.

Shrubbery Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 There are smoking rooms near some of the departure gates. These are not the same level as the duty free shopping. They are poorly signed. I had to ask the cleaners where the nearest was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falangaman Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 Flying back to UK last week I had a really good look but couldnt find anywhere to smoke once past immigration, absolutely nothing! Sparking up outside the front of the terminal seemed to be the general idea. Oh and maybe it was just the time of day that I was there, but allow ALOT of extra time to get through immigration/passport control. When I went through, all of the lanes (there must be at least 15) were absolutely rammed, it was much worse than when departing through Don Muang.

Soju Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 I'm inside the THAI Royal Silk Lounge now and just asked the girl. They are making a smoking area inside the lounge, but it won't be completed for another 2 or 3 weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
