Lord knows, I'd rather not pay any airport-related fees at all! But BKK's are not too scary, and with the increased sophistication of equipment involved in security inspections, and the personnel numbers required all translating into higher costs - perhaps an additional security charge could be reasonable.
But I wish they'd sort out the zero charge for transfers to include adventures landside.
