How Would You Spend 7+ Hrs At Suvarnabhumi

[xpatel2000]

I am arriving at Suvarnabhumi at 10:50 AM Friday on Korean Air, and depart again for at 6:55 AM for HongKong. I ask you: what to do with the hours in the interim?

In 8 hrs can I goto city and and come back to catch my flight?

Any other things I can do near the airport?

How much will it cost?

I hope I dont need a visa (I have US passport)

Thanks

Traffic as bad as it is, I'd say stay at the airport!!

Assume you mean that you will arrive at 10-50 PM or other way around...otherwise you will have a bit longer than 8 hours...

Walk around the airport with a notepad jotting down any problems that you see then report back here so we can have something to moan about.

Alternatively, take a good book with you.

I would book an Airport hotel, shower, order some food, have a nap and if there's time order a (foot)massage.

i will give some idea that you can go

1) The Ancient City

2)Crocodile farm

(both places are not far from Suvarnabhumi)

3) The Emporium and some departmentstores on Sukhumvit Rd,

Take a taxi to Oon Nutch and then take the BTS sky train

you need 3-4 hrs for the round trip

Just go for a massage. It will waste a couple hours and relax you. I know I need a massage after dealing with air travel, especially if I have to go through a US airport. Talk about stress.

[xpatel2000]

Are there massage parlors available inside airport?

I would go to Pantip Plaza in Bkk and check out all the computer gear and maybe buy a new digital camera and other bits of gear for my PC. I am a bit of a computer nerd. Oh and US passport you get a 30 day visa on arrival free.
