Hello ! On my way back to Europe from Vietnam, I will arrive at BKK-Airport at 11am and leaving at around 1130pm. Would love to do some fitness at a gym, get a relaxing massage and enjoy a last asian meal. Any infos for in or around the airport ? or should I take a cab and go downtown ? if yes, where downtown ? Thank you in advance for names and addresses as well as the results of previous experiences. Wish you all a great day ! K.

Youv'e got 12 hours, get a taxi downtown and go to Babylon. Everything you want is there including the meal

Why would anyone even think of spending a few hours in Bangkok Airport. For one do not shop at any of the King Power outlets otherwise your transit time may take a little longer!
Get downtown to Silom, enjoy any of the massages parlours, have a nice meal, go to the movies at Siam Paragon or as per previous poster go to Babylon. 12 hours in Bangkok can just be amazing!

Soon as you're out of immigration, grab a cab downtown. Takes about 45 minutes. You should have about 8-10 hrs before you need to head back.
