==Official Spotting Locations==
==Official Spotting Locations==
At the back of the main check-in area you can ascend a series of escalator/steps or use a lift to the official spectators galleryThis is truely aweful, especially compared to the old terrace at Don MuangYou have to duck down to get a view of only one of the main parking areas.  Nowhere to sit except in the adjacent meditation area which would be considered disrespectful in this very religious country.
 
===Location===
===Spectator's Terrace===
An excellent spectator's terrace runs along the length of the International Terminal 1.  Great for spotting though the far runway is still a little distant even with good binoculars.  Note that recently, just before the official closure of the airport, security was somewhat tighter and the author was given some serious questioning by heavily armed police.  All ended in handshakes but with list of registrations handed in.  The Thais are most understanding and hospitable people but times are tense in BangkokThe airport is now due to reopen again following problems at the new Suvaranabhumi airportNot sure on the status of the terrace as a result.
