Suvarnabhumi is enormous, which means the walk from gate to arrivals will test your patience and your footwear, but the e-passport fast lanes are worth hunting down if the peak-season queues stretch long. A backpacker gets by on around USD 31 a day, and street food under USD 2 makes the whole exercise feel like cheating. Sixty-plus airlines fly in, more than a hundred countries can skip the visa paperwork entirely, and Atome or Kredivo will happily split the fare into instalments. This is a city built for showing up more than once.
