Dining at the Airport

The airport has a variety of on-site restaurants and cafes. If you're hungry when you arrive, you can choose from a variety of food and beverages, such as hot coffee and sweet pastries from Birdy Coffee and Bakery or one of the breakfast meals from Burger King or Dunkin' Donuts. If you prefer something more substantial, many travellers recommend the Thai Airways Restaurant for its great selection of Thai fare and friendly service.
