A bit further than an hour, probably around an hour 20 minutes.

As for the opening date, this is a moving target and all the latest press release states is operational by 2007.

 

It is as much as a cock up as Wembley Stadium.

2007 was mentioned in a thai newspaper some weeks ago. The last date announced by the government was end of june, maybe it will be ready in september, december (King's birthday is suggested) or 2007.

 

All international traffic will move there, maybe also domestic. It's rumoured that USAF will lease Don Muang.

I have timed the run from Patts to the new airport turnoff and the best I have done is 1 hour 10 mins keeping ish to speed limit.

 

Who knows how long it will take initially to get to the terminals ?.

 

The good thing is that the Bkk city thru run will be no more.
