Nowadays air travel is little more than a flying bus service but, oddly enough, airports themselves can offer relief from the otherwise largely dull or stressful experience of taking to the air.
No, we're not talking about a new perfume outlet in the duty free section here or a special offer on jumbo bottles of scotch. What we are are talking about are the oddballs of the airport world - the nonconformist airports among the bland, airconditioned worldwide lineup we're all used to.
Here is our guide to the most exotic and eccentric airports of all - the ones where you land on a beach, take off over a cliff edge or buy your duty free in bizarre terminal buildings where the allure of flying never quite died.
One of the worst selection of photos ever. Ever heard of Bing?
thats sickkkk
yuck
Koh Samui airport is a surreal experience, alright, especially with the little 'milk float' transports buzzing people to and from the main terminal. Just prepare yourself for a bit of a culture shock once you're outside - the levels of abject poverty in the surrounding areas are humbling, to say the least.
