Previously, I posted on my arrival at the airport prior to my return to Manila. Here’s a continuation with more photos of the terminal at the departure level of Suvarnabhumi Airport.

Somebody said it is easy to get lost in a terminal this spacious.

Just follow the signs and the information boards

Here’s a closer look at one of the information boards showing departing flight information such as the status of outbound flights and the designated check-in counters.

Among my favourites at Suvarnabhumi Airport are these sentinel-like figures “watching over” the busy airport.

Thai Airways check-in counters designated for my flight back to Manila – there were no queues as there were more than enough counters and staff to handle passengers as of the time I checked-in. It helped that I checked-in online so I went directly to the bag-drop counters for my luggage and my boarding pass.

Going up the escalator for the final airport security check and the immigration counters, I took this photo of the spacious terminal.

Here’s another shot just before I placed my phone in my backpack prior to the security check.

Upon clearing immigration, one is greeted by yet another display. I already featured this in previous (old) posts on the airport where I showed some close-ups.

The ways to the boarding gates are lined up with shops.

Here are more shops along the way.

There are the usual souvenir shops, boutiques, and the cafes and restaurants for those who need refreshments.

More photos in the last instalment of this series!

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

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.
