How to pass time on a layover at BKK

Bangkok, the capital city of Thailand has two international airports and the larger one is the Suvarnabhumi Airport which is known as BKK in short form. If you ever come across an incident where you have to pass time during a layover at BKK, don't worry about what to do because there's plenty of things you can engage in. This airport has been recognised as one of the best airports in Asia and it indeed offers great experiences to its visitors.


Connect with your friends

The airport provides free WIFi and you may stay connected with your friends and family as much as you want. Update your social media accounts in case you forgot to do that when you were about to leave. There's a time limit of 2 hours applicable per device when it comes to using airport WiFi, but even if you face this situation, you may use one of the 100+ internet kiosks located here which provides free internet.

Enjoy the food

How about spending your layover appreciating the diverse culinary cultures in Bangkok? There are many counters and restaurants offering all sorts of Asian food and, if what you prefer are western options such as burgers and hotdogs, all your favourite brands such as Burger King, Starbucks, and Subway are available inside the airport premises itself to serve you well.

Shop till you almost drop

Why won't you splurge on yourself and your family when you are gifted with the perfect opportunity? There are many souvenir shops for you to visit during your time there and the goods sold by these shops are also relatively cheap. If you have an idea to purchase locally-made beautiful silk clothes, you have options such as the Jim Thompson Thai Silk and you are sure to be delighted with what they offer.

Explore Bangkok

If you've got 6 or more hours between your two flights, here's a great option for you. Bangkok- the city center is just 30km away from the airport. Join a tour to explore Bangkok or do it yourself without any third-party assistance. Take a taxi and negotiate charges with the driver to cover all Bangkok attractions such as the Grand Palace, Wat Pho, and Wat Arun. If you feel like doing some more shopping, you may also head to the Siam Paragon and CentralWorld Siam for an awesome time.

Get some good sleep

Yes, you may sleep at the airport itself and there's no one to judge you or say anything to you. But, if you are looking for better and more comfortable sleep, you can simply head to one of the good hotels located within close vicinity. You may also choose any hotel in Sukhumvit the likes of Maitria Hotel Sukhumvit 18 which is located just 30-min away from the airport and spend your 6-12 hours in Bangkok quite peacefully. If your body demands good massage therapy, you may also say yes to this at your chosen hotel spa.
