Bangkok Airport is for Cows

Bangkok Airport is for Cows
People in Airports remind me of cows in the tramp shed waiting to be milked. They stand around in straw and manure, they are not to bright, and generally just look dazed chewing their cud. Nothing bother a cows, they will put up with about anything, as they are not aware of their surroundings.

The new Suvarnabhumi Bangkok Airport is an Architectural nightmare, why do Architects have so many problems, is the modern man totally incapable of empathy. There are 1000’s of Airports on the planet, the world spends millions and billions of dollars on Airports, I think they should be comfortable.

However, the cows in the airport never know they are in a Tramp Shed wallowing in their own excrement.

I need to sit around many an hours in the Bangkok, Airport waiting for flights, I am truly amazed they can design and airport this uncomfortable.

I keep waiting for the people to start to Moo.

Ok, I do wish to admit, they did greatly improve on the arrival gates, and the check in counters are nice, however where the people spend the bulk of their time is a mess.

I tell you Andy, you have to find the cooshy chairs. They are upstairs somewhere and past behind the food court. The cooshy chairs are kind of hidden, but there is a whole room of them, cooshy chairs and carpeted floors. It is seemed pretty empty too when I was there, probably because no one can find it.

Ok, Mira, I will search for the Cooshy chairs, however it is quite obvious from the photo, the dominant chairs are made for some convicts in prison to sit on, way too small for Cows.

First rule of "Cooshy Airport Chairs Club" is Never Talk about Cooshy Airport Chairs Club !

Shame on you Mira ! Now how are we going to enjoy the cooshy chairs with Andy's minions sleeping there for days at a time ?

P.S I am glad you didn't mention airport staff asking if they would like a free cold bottle of water or offering to check on their flights while in a cooshy chair, that would have simple ruined it...

yes Andy seek and ye shall find. Did 36+ hours there and was better than most hotels on Khao San

Can you believe it, we are chatting about the hard to find Cooshy chairs in an airport. Just the fact we are talking about it tells the word how uncomfortable this Airport is in reality.

Well, buildings are kind of like women's shoes. Really pretty shoes are always uncomfortable and the really comfortable ones are always ugly. Apparently, in this life, one cannot eat one's cake and then have it too.

It's a really pretty airport though...apparently with hidden cushy chairs! :-)
