Thailand's largest airport opens new terminal with eye on tourism | Video

Samut Prakan, Sep 29 (EFE/EPA).- Bangkok's Suvarnabhumi International Airport, one of the most visited in the world, inaugurated Friday a third terminal with capacity for 15 million passengers, within the framework of an ambitious Thai plan to boost tourism in the country.

With the new satellite terminal, the country's largest airport will expand its annual passenger capacity from the current 45 million to 60 million, a measure with which it hopes to face the tourist avalanche forecast with the arrival of the high season in the country starting in October.
