george Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 Suvarnabhumi Province to be established within this year BANGKOK: -- The government plans to develop "Suvarnabhumi Maha Nakhon", consisting of the Suvarnabhumi International Airport and its surrounding areas into a new province within this year, according to Deputy Interior Minister Somchai Sunthornvut. Mr. Somchai told journalists here on Wednesday that he expected the new province would be fully developed by May or June 2006, in time for the opening of the Suvarnabhumi Airport for commercial services in late June. "Both the House of Representatives and the Senate are expected to deliberate and pass a legislation on the establishment of the new province, as proposed by the government, after they convene in the second quarter of this year," he said. The province may be initially ruled by a state committee, headed by Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra himself or a senior official authorized by the prime minister, according to the minister. The administrative body will then appoint the new province's first governor. "Elections of the mayor and members of the new province's local legislative body will be held within four years thereafter," said the minister. The Suvarnabhumi Airport is located in Nong Ngu-hao area on Bangkok's suburb. --TNA 2006-02-16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedude Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 this is one of the most hair-brained of all the government's policies. my money says a new "airport city" will never rise from this new province, this defies everything i know about urban economics.

stoneman Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 You don't suppose that maybe Toxin and some of his friends and family might own a lot of land out in that area? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jai Dee Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 Interesting... The last news we had of this was in October last year, when the PM was talking about the creation of a local administration, not a 77th province. See this thread. So much for the public hearings...

Heng Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 Whatever they call it, everyone who had the foresight to invest will be better off for it. And no, you didn't have to be related to anyone in power to buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonthaya Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 It's about high time they get Toxin out, the problem is who is going to replace him, do they have any honest candidate ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeaceBlondie Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 (edited) If the Shin clan's idea of a "Disney theme park" gets run out of Chiang Mai, his kids can establish "Pin and Pan World" near the airport. One roller coaster ride will take you up and down through the labyrinth of "AmpleRichLand." Another attraction will resemble rooms at the Bangkok Hilton.

Can't see how a PM proposal in CM would get dropped. Very likely, they'll franchise them... Shintland North in CM, Shintland Central at the airport... etc. Certainly one attraction will be a walk-through maze to be called... The Shin Corp Sell-Off. Just TRY and sort that one out and find your way to the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
