Another look at Suvarnabhumi Airport – arrival, part 2

Here are more photos taken when I arrived at Suvarnabhumi Airport in early July.

Duty free shop at the baggage claim area

Exit through customs

Travelers and their companions meet-up right after passengers exit the arrival area

It can get quite crowded at some areas of the concourse especially near the airport/tourist information and the currency exchange booths where people usually congregate.

Another photo taken on my way to the escalators to get to the taxi stand at the lower level of the airport

Escalator to the lower level of the airport where one can get a taxi to the city centre.

A view of the ground level where there are seats for people waiting for arriving passengers or passengers biding their time before taking a taxi.

The area is much less crowded than the upper levels

Here is another photo showing the spacious area with few people.

Entry to the taxi stands – note the distinction among regular taxi (middle), large taxi (right)

Typical regular taxis at Suvarnabhumi Airport. The large taxis are generally AUVs.

Travelers are issued this ticket showing the lane where the taxi is parked, the name of the driver, car type and license plate number. You can also get a receipt from your driver upon arrival at destination and payment.
