Magnificent transparent airport -- Suvarnabhumi


The first impression of Bangkok for me is Thai food. :)

In this airport, what attracts me the most is its architectural transparent facade and design. Cable truss system supporting the glass facades of the terminal building.

The rectangular pattern louvers provide shading to the laminated glass cable facade.

In Suvarnabhumi International Airport terminal,
double large panels laminated glass.

Skylight roof.

laminated glass can reduce the airport noise into the interior in acoustically.


Sun-shading trellis

Terminal is beautiful under sunset.


No early check-in service provided in this airport.

Duty free shops locate nearby each gate, similar to shopping mall. Often walk through those shop around before reach the lounge or gate, the time is near for boarding.

Sirocco----open-air sky bar



One of the world's highest outdoor bars, Bangkok's highest bar-----Sirocco----open-air sky bar, located on the 63rd floor of the Dome at State Tower.


With evening breeze and breathtaking view, this is unique and memorable evening in live jazz band music under the stars.


In evening gentle breeze, overlook a beautiful panoramic and stunning views of Bangkok and the Chao Phraya river.


Dome has obvious prominent architecture with its golden crown gleaming brighter and taller than the others. Dress code is an important polite at The DOME at State Tower, ripped clothing, slippers, sandals are not allowed, for gentlemen shoes should be fully covered. Also, shopping bags and backpacks are not allowed when enter.

While walking on the stairs, looking down around stunning view from the bar, some night breezes are touched, there was a feeling needed to grasp onto something.





From my experience, ladies don't have to wear too high-heeled shoes since the steps from the entrance to the bar needs to walk through the open-air stairs located on the 63th floor, accessible by an elevator from the 64th floor.


This is a romantic superior place.
From 9.00pm. - 12.00 midnight services dessert buffet under the stars, I believe those who had been there would leave a 360 degree open view trace in the memory!
