If you’re waiting for a connecting flight and are ‘in transit’ for four to seven hours or if you’re seeing someone off on a morning flight and have several hours to spare before driving back to the airport to meet people arriving on a return flight later in the day, the provinces nearby Suvarnabhumi Airport offer some interesting attractions.
