The new BKK airport is not spotter friendly.

You should not really have any problem with the police,so long as there are no protests ongoing.

Airside offers better possibilities than landside.

There is a 3 star hotel in between the to landing runways, witch seems to be OK, Spotters can stand on te roof. You also can rent a car , and find a place in landing, police is no problem.

Dear Jeans,

I've been there last December and created the following topic about my experience at BKK airport. Perhaps you wanna take a look.

Photo were taken with about 150-300mm depending of the aircraft type.
If you can send me a PM you have any questions.

Best regards and enjoy
