October 11, 20214 yr According to a recent but cryptic article in The Nation, the Automated People Mover (APM) train system at Suvarnabhumi airport is 90 per cent complete and should be ready in time for the return of international travellers. This project was much in the news 2-3 years ago as controversies over budget and design were debated. The firm that's doing the work had this artist's rendering of the airport posted on its website with the new terminal in the foreground. You can also find detailed information about the system. When the terminal will actually be put into use is not mentioned. https://www.maathai.com/project_detail/62 https://www.nationthailand.com/blogs/in-focus/40006714
October 11, 20214 yr The south building in the photo is not Terminal 2. It is the Satellite Terminal for Terminal 1 and work started at least 3 years ago. The Satellite is primarily for use by TG and Bangkok Airways aircraft. Nothing has yet been decided about the location and design of Terminal 2 which was the subject of all the controversy a few years ago.
