After years of allegations of corruption, political interference and cost overruns, a new international airport is due to finally open in Bangkok in September 2006. The new Suvarnabhumi Airport is 30km to the east of Bangkok, whereas the old and dark Don Muang is 25km north of the city. Confused?

If you are flying into Bangkok, either internationally or domestically, it is wise to check and double check your place of arrival and departure. <\/p>\n
