While waiting for a direct link with Suvarnabhumi that could take years why not make some improvement on the existing railway leading to the city first?

Should prioritize the rail link that connects Don Mueang to Suvarnabhumi, passengers should have an easy way to transfer between the two airports. Right now the only viable option is taxi and that includes tollway and time waiting in traffic.

Good increase passengers, but where do they park their cars? Don Mueang has inadequacy parking. Right now you have park illegal to park at all. Once again bad planning. It just never stops.

The old airport is Don Muang. Don Mueang is a new one.

I wonder if they would still be using this airport if the new one hadn't lost so much money to corruption and had to be downsized .

It handled 6 million passengers in the first five months of its fiscal year starting October 2012 and AoT is confident that 10 million more will be added over the next nine months. So 6 million in 5 months equals 1.2 million a month and 9 months x 1.2 million equals 10.8 million, so at 10 million numbers are going down, i always knew Thai education was bad!!
