Bangkok Airport

Officialy opened on the 28th September 2006 to replace the ageing Don Muang airport, Bangkok's new Suvarnabhumi international airport is actually in the nearby Samut Prakan province about 25km to the east of Bangkok. Suvarnabhumi was named by King Bhumibol Adulyadej and means "the golden land" in Thai, although it's English spelling is certain to lead to mispronunciations by visitors as it's actually pronounced like ' su-wan-na-poom '.

Though Don Muang airport had three terminals, Suvarnabhumi has only one (very large) one that handles all international and domestic flights. At a size of 563,000sqm, Suvarnabhumi's terminal building is the second largest in the world. The largest airport in teh world is at King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Being the largest does not mean the busiest however and Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson International is still the world's busiest airport.
