Bangkok Airport: traveller's limbo.

Welcome to Bangkok airport. This place kind of reminds me of Indooroopilly shopping centre if it was decked out in fake gold. I'm currently about half way through my 14 hour stop over. Earlier, due to lack of sleep, I decided to forgo a trip into the city and thought my time would be better spent hanging around the airport. Jury's still out on that one.

I had received a heads up that Thai airways had a transit lounge complete with full length couches which were perfect for sleeping on. Unfortunately, it seems that sometime in the last month these couches were replaced with... well, nothing. Dissapointing.

Not all bad though, after several laps of the airport I managed to find a rather out of place collection of padded seats opposite gate D5. These turned out to be quite comfy and i manged to get about 3 hours sleep. So, if anyone's heading to Bangkok for an extended stay, head straight to gate D5!
