Hi Gareth,
(Sorry couldn't send any of this via your blog for some reason)
I also understand that the 'new' spelling of Don Muang as in Mueang is leading to many tourists, and those of us who are completely useless at the Thai Language, being taken to the nearest Pork BBQ Roast stall by taxi drivers who do not understand that we want to go to the airport! (or visa versa, of course, you could find yourself in the check-in line for a flight to Phuket when all you really wanted to do was to take was to have a quick lunch time snack!)Apparently the pronunciations are very similar! Probably another reason for using Suvarnabhumi which incidentally if pronounced as spelt would most likely result in you being taxied to the river to catch a boat to the Grand Palace! Hope all is well in Chiang Mai or is it Chieng Mai?.
