For years I have wondered why Thailand had not taken any serious effort in doing this…
If you look at locations, Thailand is better located than Singapore in that within a 2-3 hour flight range, Thailand connects with more countries or cities than Singapore.
The fight is in Thailand favour - but the Thais need to step up effort in system facilities and infrastructures.
Strange that Singapore Changi airport has always been no.1. Surprisingly, Changi Airport has no direct dedicated speed train or public bus connectivity into the city and it takes 45 min into the city by taxi n more than 1 hour by a transit rail which stops at more than 15-20 stops. Compare this alone with Hong Kong n Thailand, Singapore Changi fails.
