Don Mueang International Airport is to build an additional 1,000 toilets to cope with rising number of passengers, the airport’s general manager said.
 

Wing Commander Suteerawat Suwnnawat said the airport will spend Bt86 million to build the new toilet facilities that will be completed early next year.

 

Currently, the airport has 2,000 toilets.

 

He said the new facilities could be designed to reflect the unique culture of destination provinces in each of the regions represented by the airlines that use the airport and added that the latest technology would be used to ensure high hygienic and odourless standards.

 

Suteerawat also said that the airport would seek a budget of Bt6 million to increase immigration checkpoints from 39 to 60 to reduce waiting time.

 

Currently, the immigration checkpoints can handle 2,000 passengers per hour and the airport plans to expand the capacity to at least 3,000 passengers per hour.

I never noticed a shortage of toilets at Don Muang terminals. It would make more sense to re-open the third terminal building (I believe this has been discussed) to increase the number of gates available. When you arrive from international destination you often have to take a bus and climb stairs (no escalator ) before starting the long walk to Immigration.

Well I guess if they are from India then they don't need to build anything other than signposts,  "forest lavotories this way"

How about building some more at Swampy while you are at it. Especially in the main departure hall. I am always dying for the toilet after spending 4 hours on the road to get to Swampy, and then I have to walk miles to find one when I get there.
