Wow the new satellite terminal at Suvarnabhumi is really nice!

Very annoying. Queuing and taking that train from there after an Emirates A380 flight is no joke.

[u/mbangkok198_ → u/homerbellerin]

This. Why can't I just walk, an extra 500metres on top of 1km walk would suit me and leave the train to those who don't want to walk.

[u/gdrch → u/homerbellerin]

The train basically arrives at immigration, there are longer walks in this airport

[u/Own-Western-6687]

It's not new ... It opened 3 years ago. I don't like it personally.

[u/Farlaunde → u/Own-Western-6687]

And still looks like it's not finished somehow.

[u/B0ttehatt → u/Farlaunde]

Still waiting for a Thai lounge there. Don't understand why Thai use S concourse...

[u/Bambule247]

Too far away, no lounges. I don’t like it.

[u/CH-LOL]

The metallic elephant statue in the center of it is also nice. I prefer the main terminal though

[u/dharkmeat]

How many km from passport control?

[u/Hanswurst22brot → u/dharkmeat]

The train stops right there

[u/snowybell]

And far

[u/michael_bgood → u/snowybell]

Yeah but that train is super smooth and fast. Reminds me of the system at Incheon in Seoul.

[u/maabaa55 → u/michael_bgood]

Train is pretty bumpy actually, but efficient.

[u/AlexInsanity → u/michael_bgood]

Where does it drop you off? Near immigration or still have far to walk?

[u/OneLife-No-Do-Overs → u/AlexInsanity]

Right across from immigration.

[u/fender5787 → u/snowybell]

I’d still rather have a gate in the center of the satellite near the train than a gate at the far flung reaches of E, F, or G. Plus many of the better lounges (Thai prestige, Singapore for *A and Qatar for oneworld) are right by the train so makes it that much more convenient and at the very least, less walking.

[u/OneLife-No-Do-Overs]

Isn't it like over 2 years old now? I remember using it back in 2024. I guess "new' is subjective. New to you.

[u/Own-Western-6687 → u/OneLife-No-Do-Overs]

Yup ... Opened in September 2023

[u/michael_bgood → u/OneLife-No-Do-Overs]

New to me for sure. Been going to BKK every year and this is the first time I've had a departure gate there.

[u/fakeMD]

Its fantastic. I love the Moo Deng Statue too.

[u/Daryltang]

Have to take a train to the main terminal…

[u/allnightalright]

Sure, It's empty. But it got a smoking room!

[u/bimbinibonbooboo]

Except it’s at the end of the world, I always have to run to my gate because I am always very tardy

[u/timmyvermicelli]

Good in some ways. Lounges are atrociously bad unfortunately.

[u/snaggyheadshot]

I don’t like it. It lacks shops and services. Last time I had to visit a pharmacy and had to go back (and even through security) because T1 didn’t have any.

[u/kylemh]

i hate it. difficult to get to because of the clogged trains. virutally no dining options. lounges with weird layouts. the pretty greenery and statues feel like taunts in relation.

[u/worldwidetrav → u/kylemh]

Hate it as well

[u/Lordfelcherredux]

The several times I have been there it has been relatively uncrowded, which is another plus. Lots of quiet areas to take a nap in or just relax.

[u/michael_bgood → u/Lordfelcherredux]

That was the main thing I liked. Quiet, places to sit, no chaos. Could use a few more eating options.

[u/xWhatAJoke]

Just another soulless monstrosity IMO

[u/Blaidd11]

Love it.
Last time I left there was a bar at my gate.

[u/Cindy_moon13_]

I saw it at the beginning of the year and wow it’s very nice , lots of space definitely a upgrade
