If the airport I am heading to happens to be spanking new especially if it claims to be the biggest in Asia, I always put effort into arriving during daylight hours.

Sidenote: This odd behaviour can be explained by the gargantuan amount of airports completed in Asia during the last 10 years.

Sadly, we have to settle with a night flight to catch the Sapam Street Procession of the Phuket Vegetarian Festival. And sure enough the Great Cosmic Interference made sure we MISS the street procession(!!). Two missed opportunities … que sera sera~

I was impressed at the scale of the airport, but the quality of the finishes (especially the bare concrete) looks pretty dubious. And the steel frames are too coarse for my liking. Hmm, I guess that’s the furthest extent of my comments.

However, I am officially duly fully impressed with quality of photos on Flickr these days. I’ll find a way to integrate it into this blog soon …

EDIT:

Here you go! Magazine quality photos of Suvarnabhumi Airport !! Man, I love Web 2.0~

While I am still in this state of euphoria, I will add some Phuket Vegetarian Street Procession photos as well !
