Is the new airport a joke?
I arrived today back in Thailand for the first time in two years. I thought the new airport was supposed to be state of the art. I guess it's no worse overall than Don Muang but that's not the point. Chipped tiles, badly concreted walls (my Dad's in construction so I do notice these things) and shops from here to buggery. I got through Immigration OK, picked up my bag (I was nervous about even getting it, from stories I'd heard). The I went outside to try to find the guy who was meeting me. What a mess. They're already rebuilding or repairing something, there was scaffolding and the usual army of do-nothing Thai workers. A tiny little meeting area. The usual touts everywhere. Not something on which to build a successful tourist industry.

In case you haven't noticed, m'dear, most of Thailand's tourists are utter failures. Just be grateful that you're not alone.
Making the right comparison

That's hardly the point - the UK doesn't have a new international airport opened just this year
