Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK)

Suvarnabhumi Airport operates from one main terminal building spanning seven concourses (A-G) plus the new SAT-1 satellite terminal opened in September 2023, connected by Thailand's first 24-hour Automated People Mover running every 3 minutes. The main terminal designates Concourse A for domestic flights and Concourses B-G for international operations, with walking times between concourses ranging from 5-15 minutes aided by moving walkways. SAT-1 adds 28 gates including 8 capable of handling A380s and Boeing 747-8s, increasing annual capacity from 45 to 60 million passengers. Thai Airways International operates its primary hub from BKK with extensive Royal Silk Lounge facilities offering authentic Thai massages for business and first class passengers, including neck/shoulder treatments and 60-minute Royal Thai full-body massages in dedicated Touch of Silk suites. The airport features the Royal Orchid Spa with steam rooms, saunas, and shower facilities, plus multiple Miracle Lounges throughout Concourses A and F providing traditional Thai massage services during layovers. Security and immigration can take up to 2 hours during peak times, though fast-track services are available for business class, elderly, pregnant passengers, and those with infants. Unique Thai cultural elements include an Art Gallery on Level 4 showcasing contemporary and traditional Thai artworks, plus the massive 10,000 m² King Power Duty Free complex - Southeast Asia's largest airport duty-free operation and five-time World Travel Awards winner for Thailand's leading airport duty-free operator.
