There are only a limited number of gates equipped to handle A380s in BKK....all of them on pier C I think, but I could well be wrong about this
There are also gates at E and G, which can handle A380; there are now more and more airlines with A380 in BKK, beside TG and Emirates also Qatar and Asiana
last time on TG A380 to CDG in F I had to walk to a G gate; so I would have appreciated a bus from DA1...
