Don Muang Airport in Bangkok is only around 8km from where we live, we could see planes coming into land, but there was never any noise. I have used Don Muang dozens of times in the past three years and in all fairness won’t be sad to see it go.
In all fairness as International Airports go, it was a bit of a shit hole. It was ok, maybe around 20 years out of date. There were very few amenities once inside the departure lounge and the one’s that were there weren’t up too much.
The new Airport “Suvarnabhumi” is said to be the best Hub Airport in South East Asia, that’s something when comparing it against KL and Singapore. It is around 40km away, but the outer ring road makes this a quick journey. I will be using it next month when I go and see my Uncle Steve and Auntie Paula in Perth.
It will be interesting to see if the new airport gives you the same atmosphere when you arrive. At Don Muang, it was hot and chaotic, just a taster of what your time in Thailand was going to be like.
Goodbye Don Muang
