- BKK Airport Overview
Suvarnabhumi Airport BKK is located in Racha Thewa, in the Bang Phli district of Samut Prakan province, 30 km east of Bangkok, the capital city of Thailand. The name of Suvarnabhumi translates as the "Golden Land". This is a new Airport with a new name--following the closure of its former airport, Bangkok Don Muang International.
Suvarnabhumi's facilities include: 130 passport control checkpoints for arrivals (72 for departures); 26 customs-control checkpoints for arrivals, 8 for departures; 22 baggage conveyor belts; 360 check-in counters (with 100 additional counters for passengers without luggage); 107 moving walkways; 102 elevators, and 83 escalators.
Furthermore BKK Airport has now a capacity of handling 76 flight operations per hour. Both international and domestic flights share the airport terminal, but are assigned different parts of the concourse.
Two 5-storey car park buildings with over 5,000 parking spaces are located between the new airport hotel and the passenger terminal.
Novotel Suvarnabhumi,
the sole on-airport hotel, is located right above the soon-to-be-opened underground rail link station, and is situated in front of the passenger terminal. Its 600 rooms and amenities are operated by the Accor Group.
