Suvarnabhumi Airport: The New Pride of Thailand

 
 Do you recognize this architecture? It's Thailand's new symbol - one of the world's busiest and best airports - the Suvarnabhumi International Airport. Also in the photo is a Thai Airways plane, the country's flag carrier. Have you heard of its slogan? "Smooth as silk!"
Here's an island of beautiful orchids and ornamental plants that breaks the monotony of people rushing for their departures. Many people take photos here as the gorgeous orchid blooms are so captivating.
   
I love this purple vanda.  
And this. A wonder to me as these leaves are filled with holes designed by nature.
To be close with nature amidst the deafening noise of engines and swarming people...
  
 Here's a shot of the three levels of this gigantic airport.
  
 Here's something "Thai" at the airport.
 
In case you haven't taken a picture at one of the symbols of Thailand- magnificent temples- you can take photos in these murals close to the Passport Control area. With it, it may appear that you have really been to Thailand, LOL!

Thanks to Khun Mo of the School of Architecture of KMUTT for taking the first photo for me on our flight from Bangkok to Chiangmai.
