Suvarnabhumi (pronounced “Su-Wana-Poom”) means “The Golden Land”.
Developing Thailand as the aviation and air transport hub of Southeast Asia is among the priorities set by the Royal Thai Government.
One of the ways this can be achieved is to develop Suvarnabhumi Airport to achieve the highest international standards, to ensure its support for the rapidly increasing air traffic demand corresponding to the need of aviation business worldwide. His Majesty the King has graciously conferred the name of Suvarnabhumi Airport which means the Golden Land and is located in Bang Phli District, Samut Prakan province, covering an area of approximately 3,200 hectares.
