We are at Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK) in Bangkok, Thailand. We have just arrived from Helsinki, Finland onboard a Finnair Airbus A340-300. We are onroute (in transit) to Koh Samui Airport and our next step is to walk from the international arrivals to the domestic departures area at Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK). The footage shows our disembarkation from our Finnair flight and then follows our long transit walk through Bangkok Airport to the domestic departures area where we will be catching a Bangkok Airways flight to Koh Samui Airport (USM). The transit walk from the international arrivals gate to our domestic departures gate is a long walk (actually a very long walk, especially if you are running late for a flight, or are a person who has walking disabilities). When viewing the footage of our walk through Suvarnabhumi Airport the viewer should be aware that the footage has been edited so that larger sections of the walk to the domestic flights departures area have been cut out, that being said should give an idea of the time and length of the walk. Suvarnabhumi Airport does not have a terminal train shuttle or bus shuttle at this point so we made use of the long escalators through the airport halls. I would imagine that this walk would be very challenging for older people and persons with difficulty to walk (anybody with walking difficulty should arrange for an airport disabled handicap transportation to meet them at their flight). We finally arrived at the domestic departures area where we once again went through a security control and also cleared customs. At this area, apart from our Koh Samui flight, there were many domestic flights departing to many of the well known Thailand holiday destinations such as Krabi, Phuket, Changmai, HatYai etc. Once we had cleared security we where met with a nice drinks and snack bar provided by Bangkok Airways for their passengers. Bangkok Airways who describe themselves as a boutique airline provide this free refreshment stand for all passengers economy or business (this is an extremely nice gesture offered by this airline to its passengers). After a few sandwiches and a coffee it was straight off to the gate where boarding for our Bangkok Airways flight to Koh Samui had begun. The footage ends with us being driven out to our Bangkok Airways Airbus A319 by shuttle bus through the airport taxiways and then boarding the aircraft by an external stairway.
