Maybe there's an element of nostalgia for some in DMK. It was my first arrival point in Thailand, but it's changed enormously since then.
I do not shed any tears over the old DMK when it still was BKK. no nostalgia for me at all....
the mess started with the traffic jam on the highway ahead of the exit. Hardly any parking available in the very tight underground parking. not much fast lanes available...airport too small for the crowds etc.etc.
