Suvarnabhumi Airport, Bangkok’s new international airport, is located on Bangna-Trat Road in Bang Phli District of Samut Prakan Province, approximately 25 kilometres from the heart of Bangkok.
If you’re waiting for a connecting flight and are ‘in transit’ for five to eight hours or if you’re seeing someone off on a morning flight and have several hours to spare before driving back to the airport to meet people arriving on a return flight later in the day, the provinces nearby Suvarnabhumi Airport offer some interesting attractions. These can be covered in half-day or full-day sight-seeing programmes.
The Tourism Authority of Thailand recommends a choice of five different sightseeing itineraries and routes featuring a range of tourist attractions and destinations in the neighbouring provinces of Samut Prakan and Chachoengsao. Each is within an-hour’s drive from Suvarnabhumi Airport.
