Suvarnabhumi

I booked a flight to Bangkok with Thai airway last week. Next Monday I will be flying to my home country, Thailand. The new airport in BKK, which is located in Bang Phli, Samut Prakan province, 30 kilometers east of BKK, will be opened end of this month. Suvarnabhumi Airport, its pronounced"su-wan-na-poom". The name Suvarnabhumi was chosen by HM King Bhumibol Adulyadej which means "The Golden Land", specifically referring to the continental Indochina. "Golden Peninsula"or "Golden Land" is a traditional name for the Thailand-Cambodia-Laos-Burma region.


The airport has 2 parallel runways and 2 parallel taxiways to accommodate simultaneous departures and arrivals. It has a total of 120 parking bays and 5 of these are capable of accommodating the Airbus A380 aircraft. With a capacity of handling 76 flight operations per hour, both international and domestic flights will share the airport terminal but will be assigned to different parts of the concourse.


The airport was designed by Murphy/Jahn Architects, an architectural firm from Chicaco. This multi-billion-dollar project is getting the final touches ahead of its commercial opening on September 28.

I wonder how many millions Taksin corruptly got from this project!!
