Suvarnabhumi Airport (meaning 'Golden Land'), also known as Bangkok International Airport, is an international airport serving
Bangkok, Thailand. The airport is located in 'Racha Thewa' in 'Bang Phli' district, Samut Prakan Province, about 25 kilometres
east of downtown Bangkok.
Bangkok's former Don Muang International Airport now operates domestic flights. Some 140 flights carrying 20,000 passengers
daily are now set to use the airport, beloved by many for its quirks - including a golf course between the main runways -
and its relatively easy access to downtown Bangkok.
The skytrain, Bangkok's overhead light railway system, provides a great way to get around many of the major shopping, business
and commerical areas around central Bangkok. Finished in 1999, it's a great alternative to sitting in Bangkok's legendary
traffic.
Trains usually run every 3 - 6 minutes from 6.00-12.00 midnight daily. At certain times, special promtions include discount
vouchers which can be used at the shopping centres around the skytrain stops. Enqurie at the ticket counter for details.

of the underground train can be reached via ramps and elevators, if needed, or alternatively via escalators.
