27. November, 2008
Bangkok International Airport could be expected to be blocked for a long while and Thailand tourists are recommended to fly to Phuket straight, where local tourism business operators will prevent disturbances. Now also the second Bangkok Airport Don Muyang has fallen under control of the anti government forces and the city remains cut off from any air traffic.

Bangkok Airport is blocked by demonstrators which were obviously allowed by the Thai army and police to stop all International flights.

Analysts say, that this is a part of a high level gang war between for former leader Thaksin and his ex-supporter Limptonkul who is driving the PAD demonstrations.

Airport history:

The new and very impressive Bangkok Airport with the name Suvarnabhumi is one of the biggest in Asia and located 30 kilometers outside of the city.

30 million tourists find a well functioning airport in Bangkok on which everything is easy to find.

Immigration and other Bangkok Airport assistants are very friendly and also the handling and forwarding speed are fully convincing.

Also the restaurants do impress with good quality and decent prices so that passengers feel comfortable when connecting to other destinations in and outside of Thailand.

Immigration officers wish you a pleasant stay in Thailand whilst the overall formalities are not any time consuming.

The architecture at Bangkok airport is stunning and it reminds of JFK in several parts.

Right now the annual capacity is as high as 45 million passengers and future options will allow up to 100 million.
