New airport in Thailand short of toilets
This doesn’t sound like fun:
The sprawling Suvarnabhumi International Airport only has some 100 toilets for the more than 100,000 daily passengers, sparking frustration and anger among those having to stand in long lines.
Just add it to the long list of problems experienced by the new airport:
Opened last month and hailed as the new air hub for Southeast Asia, the airport has not been without problems, including slow unloading of luggage, insufficient seating at departure gates and a cramped taxi pickup area.
Luckily they are planning quick action to increase the number of toilets:
“We are aware of this burden on the passengers and I have ordered a quick resolution to this problem by ordering the building of 200 more toilets. The project has already begun,” the head of the Airports Authority of Thailand Chotisak Asapaviriya told The Associated Press.
The 400 million baht ($10 million) project is expected to be completed within 45 days.

Forget the cargo issues…I say they need to focus all of their attention to this serious matter.
