My flight arrived to Bangkok yesterday night at 8:30PM which is around 3:30 Kuwait time so other than the fact I had a long 7 hour flight from Qatar I also ended up losing around 5 hours of my day because of the difference in timezones. Isn’t it supposed to be a 4 hours difference actually? I don’t know maybe. The point is by the time I got to my hotel I was exhausted with no sleep so I didn’t get to see much of Bangkok. Today is my day off to go explore but I just woke up now and its nearly 2PM so half of today is also gone. Its not raining so I guess thats a good thing. Quick notes about my trip. I flew Qatar Airways economy class. The plane was really great, decent legroom great entertainment system with video on demand and live news feeds. The food was also great. Qatar Airport on the other hand sucked. It was over crowded and once you get off the plane you need to do a security check even if you are going through transit, that took like 20 minutes of waiting in line. Also it seems you need to take a bus from and to all the planes. Bus ride to the plane seriously took 20 minutes also. Not a very nice airport..

Enjoy it…will be waiting for your posts XD
Qatar Airways first and business is excellent.
Qatar Airport, in general, is also very nice clean and modern. Certainly better than our decrepit Airport in Kuwait. The First and Business lounges in Qatar are also superb.
As the airport is still very new, the main issue is getting to the planes, which like you said are a long way away from the terminal.
your hotel is a bit out of the way but you should have fun in Bangkok. It’s a great city. Qatar airport is a mess but you should know that this terminal is only temporary and they are building a massive new $7 billion airport which will open next year with eventual capacity for 50 million passengers.

Thanks Crocko for your kind words about Qatar Airways. We do our best to deliver a 5-star level of service each and every day. If you like the current Doha airport, just wait until the new facility is built. Expect state-of-the-art! It will coincide nicely with the doubling of our fleet size. We look forward to serving all of you in the future!

You should have a great time in Bangkok, I try to get there at least twice a year.
I flew Qatar Airways this month from Abu Dhabi to Vienna, via Doha, and I must say that their Economy class is definitely not five stars! Both flights between Abu Dhabi and Doha, and then Doha and Vienna were single aisle Airbus planes with virtually no leg-room and no entertainment on demand.
They spend so much money on advertising on television that many people fall for the hype and truly believe it is a 5-star airline. It certainly is efficient and provides decent enough value for money, but it could do with more leg room in Economy class!
