Suvarnabhumi Airport (IATA: BKK) is the main international airport of Bangkok, the capital of Thailand; the city's other airport is Don Mueang. It lies mostly in Bang Phli district, Samut Prakan province, and covers 3,520 hectares. Thai Airways International uses it as its main hub, and Bangkok Airways, Thai VietJet Air and Thai AirAsia have bases there.

Condé Nast Traveller (UK) readers ranked Suvarnabhumi No. 10 in the Readers' Choice Awards 2025 list of the best airports in the world, with a score of 87.27. The passage from the magazine is a ranking table and adds no further comment.

The airport's name comes from an ancient toponym found in Indian literature and Buddhist texts; it was first called Nong Nguhao. In 2024 it handled more than 62 million passengers, making it the busiest airport in Thailand and the 20th-busiest in the world. According to Wikipedia, as of 2025 more airlines fly there than to any other airport, with 113 carriers, and it is linked to the city by the Airport Rail Link.
