Flights to Bangkok, the capital and largest city of Thailand

The town was established on the site of an earlier settlement, which in the late 18th century it became the capital of Siam. During the next 2 centuries it became the main political and economic center of Thailand. In the period of rapid economic development in Southeast Asia in the late 20th century in Bangkok were established regional headquarters of many large companies. In 2009 it was rated as the 2nd most expensive city in Southeast Asia after Singapore.
According to the etymology of the short name of the city Bangkok comes from "Ban" - name for a town situated on the banks of the river. It is assumed that the second part of the name comes either from the "KOK" tree Spanish tropical plum (Spondias mombin), or the "Koch" island.

The airport is located in Racha Thewa in Bang Phli district, Samut Prakan Province, about 25 kilometres (16 miles) east of downtown Bangkok. The name Suvarnabhumi was chosen by King Bhumibol Adulyadej and refers to the golden kingdom hypothesised to have been located somewhere in Southeast Asia.

The airport inherited the airport code, BKK, from Don Mueang after the older airport ceased international commercial flights. A modern motorway no.7 connects the airport, Bangkok, and the heavily industrial Eastern Seaboard of Thailand, where most of the manufacturing for export takes place.
