泰国 新机场 - Suvarnabhumi Airport Taxi价 300铢
新机场, 在1楼的出境厅，询问到Khao San Road的Taxi价格，开价1000铢，吓死俺们。
遵循网上各路精英的意见，直上4/F，出来后，路边有许多Taxi等待，开价300铢，与网上的价格同（当然还可以再议价）。
从BangKok Suit到新机场，经过两段高速收费,打表，最后300铢。
可见，基本上300铢是比较合适的价格。
下面，再往上找了篇有关这个新机场的介绍。看来泰国政府还是下了大大的泰铢进入的了。
Suvarnabhumi Airport covers an area of some 20,000 rais (8,000 acres). The new international airport is located about 15 km of on the east-bound Bangna-Trat Highway in Bang Phli District, Samut Prakarn Province and is about 25 km. from downtown Bangkok. It is accessible via five routes.
‘Suvarnabhumi’ Meaning ‘a Golden Land’. ‘Suvarnabhumi’ is the new airport’s name graciously blessed by His Majesty the King on September 29, 2000.
‘Suvarnabhumi’ denotes a fertile land where inhabitants live peacefully as well as a business hub from which the economy thrives.
Potentials
The new airport has an initial capacity of 45 million annual passengers, 76 flights an hour and over 3 million tons of cargo. 2 runways with a distance width of 2,200 meters, each 3,700 meters and 4,000 meters long, able to accommodate A380. Also included are 51 aircraft stands with aerobridge gates of which 4 are designed to handle the super jumbo Airbus A380 and 69 remote parking bays and 2 car parking buildings connected to the passenger terminal to serve over 5,000 cars.
A gross 563,000-square-meter area is set for an assortment of 24/7 Duty Free shops. The completed project will feature 4 runways totally, resulting in an ultimate capacity of 100 million annual passengers, 112 flights an hour and 6.4 million tons of cargo.
泰国 曼谷 周末市场 Chatuchak Weekend Market
The weekend market is something of a Bangkok institution. It has a reputation for having just about everything you can imagine on sale (which it deserves) at cheap prices (a reputation it doesn’t necessarily deserve). The market is near the northern edge of Bangkok, but thanks to the subway opened in 2004, it is very accessible to visitors. The Kampangphet subway (’Metro’) station has one exit right inside the market.

The market has been expanded a couple of times in the more than 20 years it’s been at its current location. The original market is a reversed “L” shape. Stalls consist of one or two spaces about three meters (10 feet) square. The stalls and the narrow aisles between them are covered, but mostly not enclosed and air conditioned, so shopping here can be a rather hot affair (see JJ Mall below).
A large center courtyard runs down the center of the “L”, with a clock tower in the center. The old portion is surrounded by what once was the parking area, but cars have now been banned from the market, making it quite a bit cooler than it once was. Electric carts now provide free transportation around the market.
The market is ostensibly divided into “zones” for specific types of items, but these are not at all rigidly enforced. You’ll find clothing in the home decor section, and decorative items in all other sections.
Many visitors, using old maps, completely miss the newer sections, officially known as “JJ Park”. The aisles are considerably wider in this area, which makes it much cooler than the old market. The new section is mostly devoted to decorative items such as lamps, fountains and wood carvings. North of this section is a large market selling tropical fish and all the associated equipment needed for a home aquarium.
As the name implies, Chatuchak is open on Saturday and Sunday, only. Hours are basically sunrise to sunset, but most shops don’t open until around 10:00.
