Suvarnabhumi....can you say that? Sure...I knew you could! This name is the name of the new airport that has just opened in Bangkok. Don Muang in the north part of the city has just been closed after 92 years of service. The name Suvarnabhumi was chosen by His Majesty the King in the year 2000. It is interesting to note that this new airport has been in the making for over 40 years. Today, marks the grand opening of this new state-of-the-art gateway into Southeast Asia. The name means the "golden land" which refers to continental Indochina. This is supposed to be a highly sophisticated airport with the latest technologies. I will see for myself next month as we fly out for a retreat to the south of Thailand. It'll be exciting to see!
By the way... The airport is pronounced Su wa na poom...would you have guessed that?
