Rimmer Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 U-Tapao airport development to attract investors SATTAHIP:--The Ministry of Industry has expressed its confidence that the U-Tapao International Airport redevelopment project, part of an overall plan for an Eastern Airport City, will attract many investors. Industry Minister, Dr. Uttama Savanayana, said the terms of reference (TOR) for the development would be released soon, and the project will be opened to private companies to compete for work on the aviation facilities, which will cover 225 acres. “Even though the development of the U-Tapao International Airport and the Eastern Airport City has been delayed as a result of waiting for the implementation of the Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC) Act, which became effective in the middle of this month, we are quite confident that we will get the names of investors for different projects for the development of airport this year,” Dr.Uttama said. Under the original timeframe, the invitation for private sector to invest in the U-Tapao project was to be conducted between March and June this year. The Industry Minister said the names of those who win the bids would be announced in September. -- © Copyright Pattaya Mail 2018-06-01 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why such optimism ? It is an airport near Pattaya. All the other hub talk, up until now, is just talk. Have yet to hear anything that is exciting.

The distance between Tokyo and Narita Airport is 63.56 km. The trend for airports is not to put them in densely populated urban areas like the old HK airport, unless you like passengers peering into your window as they land Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rimmer Posted June 3, 2018 Author Share Posted June 3, 2018 A post has been removed. The distance will differ considerably depending if one takes the much longer route on Sukhumvit road through Sattahip or the much shorter route cutting across to the 331 via the Phoenix road. I measure from Ban Ampur to the 331 using the cut through via Wat Yaan to the 331 the distance is 11k and then its maybe 10k down the 331 and across via 332 straight to Utapao gate, add the distance from Ban Ampur to Pattaya and I would agree with 35 to 40k overall.

Which it seems you didn't if you travelled about double the distance other people do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SidJames Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 Doesn't it depend on how fast you're going & whether you're updating your insta whilest driving? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digbeth Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 The only way you can make it to Utapao from Pattaya and the distance come to around 60Km is if you head up north to 36 either using the Hwy7 or Via Sukhumvit and then down to Utapao on the 331 Otherwise, crossing from Sukhumvit to 331 either at Silverlake or Phoenix or even going down to Utapao using Sukhumvit alone via Ban Chang should be more than 40-45Km Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
