Whilst I do not quite go along with Charlesfrith's scary comment, it is certainly a national disgrace and it should be born in mind that the repairs to the tarmac at Suvarnabhumi will require the closing of each runway in turn for a considerable time, as I am pretty sure the whole things need re-laying down to a considerable depth. In the meantime, there is the danger of sink holes appearing, as the groundwater continues to recede over the next three months. It is not just the surface that is a problem, but the sand that was used as a base, which was of the wrong type and does not do the job of carrying away water sufficiently well.
Up to now, the runway and taxi-ways have only been patched, which just won't hack it in the long run. If you have driven the highway from town to the airport, which was also built to lower than required standard, then you can see the result. Admittedly not so critical, but constructed to even lower standards than the airport surface itself, the highway has been repaired about 4 times since the airport opened, due to subsidence and surface disintegration.
