Report from Bangkok Post dated Thursday 5 April 2007 :-
Airport taxis to change lanes : Taxi stands to move to arrivals on 2nd floor
=============================================
Suvarnabhumi airport is preparing to relocate public taxi stands to the second floor of the main airport building, on the same floor as the arrivals terminal, pushing out influential private limousine operators. Suvarnabhumi airport director Serirat Prasutanond said yesterday that taxi stands would move up from the frontal road on the first floor of the passenger terminal to the second floor after the Songkran festival ends on April 17.
Thank Buddha for this! Wish it had happened before Songkran, (when I arrived) because I was going out of my freaking mind trying to find the metered taxi stand - non-existant signage and trying to get a straight answer out of any of the limo pricks is not a nice welcome to thailand...

Was there < 2 weeks ago and no change. Still had to exit arrival and proceed downstairs to metered taxis.
I did notice however in the baggage area dozens of large signs "warning" people about taking "illegal" taxis and urging them to use the AOT Limo....
So they still are ripping people off with the 1200 baht fare and nothing seems to change!

Report from Bangkok Post dated Friday 11 MaY 2007 :-
Epic airport sculpture will be moved aside
===============================
Transport Minister Theera Haocharoen has ordered the relocation of the famous Samudra Manthan (the Churning of the Ocean of Milk) sculpture at Suvarnabhumi airport to another area in the passenger departure hall. Adm Theera said yesterday the sculpture needed to be moved to provide more open space for out-bound passengers on international flights.
The Samudra Manthan statue depicts a legend of the Hindu god Narayana, who took the form of a tortoise and sat on the bottom of the ocean. A mountain, with a gigantic snake wrapped around it, was placed on his back by the other gods so they could churn the sea and obtain the nectar of immortality.
Adm Theera said the airport had already removed a small museum behind the sculpture, allowing passengers using certain gates to walk straight to the nearest lift. Previously, they had to detour around the duty free shopping area.
The removal of the museum also helped widen the path to the nearest fire exit in the area, he said.
However, during his team's latest inspection, they found the Samudra Manthan statue still blocked passengers' path.
''I asked airport officials to find a more appropriate spot for the statue in the airport. It's quite difficult to find such a spot though, because the statue is very big,'' he said.
Deputy Transport Minister Sansern Wongcha-um said that demolition of another structure blocking a number of fire exits was proceeding slowly due to fears the work would inconvenience passengers.
Only some of the 20 spots due to be cleared had been completed, he said.
The airport might not be able to clear all 20 spots in the 30 days set by the Airports of Thailand's (AoT) board.
The AoT has also given King Power International Group 30 days to remove parts of its duty free outlets which it says pose a safety hazard.
King Power officials said AoT has ordered the company to remove 25 ''obstacles'' including counters and advertising boards. The company expects to finish the work by the end of the month.

Report from Bangkok Post dated Friday 11 MaY 2007 :-
Don Mueang costs AoT B70m a month = Loss stems from underutilisation
=======================================================
The reopening of Don Mueang airport in March is making a dent in the balance sheet of Airports of Thailand Plc (AoT), with a monthly loss of 70 million baht.
The loss reflects operating costs that far outstrip the income derived from serving a small number of non-connecting flights, at 140 to 160 a day, and daily passenger throughput of around 18,000.
Don Mueang is heavily underutilised, with a projected five million passengers yearly representing only about 12% of its capacity.
Before its closure last year, Don Mueang was handling up to 39 million passengers a year and 700 to 800 flights a day.
In only the first week of the old airport's reopening, from March 25, AoT incurred a loss of 126 million baht, but the deficit declined in April to an estimated 74 million baht for the month, according to sources.
AoT acting president Kulya Pakakrong conceded in an interview that the loss incurred at the 93-year-old airport was quite worrisome but expressed hope that the amount would decline in the future as air traffic builds up.
AoT has calculated annual revenue of 700 million baht from running the airport, 500 million baht of which would come from air services, with the other 200 million from space rental.
It requires 464 people - 294 AoT full-time staff and 166 long-term employees - to run the airport which also serves chartered airlines, VIP and government flights. The loss was expected before the government ordered AoT to reopen Don Mueang, which was supposed to have been permanently closed following the startup of Suvarnabhumi last year.
The reopening of Don Mueang came in light of grave concerns that cracks on runways and damaged taxiways as well other construction flaws at Bangkok's new airport could seriously affect air movements and compound congestion that was already taking place there.
The 125-billion-baht airport, fraught with alleged widespread corruption, is already operating near its capacity of 45 million passengers a year.With the loss AoT management appeared to be keen to adopt a number of income-boosting options including allowing some international scheduled flights, now confined to Suvarnabhumi, to operate through Don Mueang, or making it an airport for all domestic flights.
AoT hopes that a study it has just assigned to the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) to look into the future roles of Suvarnabhumi and Don Mueang would confirm its thinking about Don Mueang's expanding scope of operation.
Most airlines frowned at the idea of turning Don Mueang into another international airport for Bangkok, warning it would be impractical, costly and confusing to passengers, especially international travellers.
