The New Airport: Fooking Awesome

[Butterfly]

So I went to the new airport. Got lost a bit but man, what a place, it's beautiful.

It's huge, I would say 5 to 6 times the size of Don Muang. It takes a while to find the parking lot as you have to go around the airport, but it's more much convenient than Don Muang and less cahotic.

The drop zone is huge, very neat, and that departure hall is beautiful, not as crowded and cahotic. It feels right. Not enough shopping area but I guess they are still working on it. It's spacious and you almost feel like you are in a different country. Don Muang had still that third world feeling which was also kinda nice.

Man, very impressive, and what a space. This is when you realize that Don Muang was overcrowded and backward. The new place is just more civilized, fancy. And a lot of hot women for some reasons, looks like everyone is coming to the airport to be seen. Never saw so many good looking Thai girls. Maybe the light was different. Usually you only see the Pattaya girls with their fat boyfriends, but there, no, couldn't see even one, only civilized and pleasant looking Thai girls. Maybe I got lucky and it was a good night.

Dining area on second floor was ok, not much choice, but still reasonable. Again, very social, restaurants were very busy (unlike Don Muang) with a lot of "social" crowd. People are definitely going there to socialize.

Anyway, got lost on the way back, as expected. Run out of gas as there is no gas station 20km around the airport (some silly security rules apparently). The whole area around the aiport is also very nice. It almost feels like you are in the US or in Europe, but not Thailand.

A very busy place and I can see why they were pushing for the early move to the new Airport. Definitely worth it.

A must see.
