The Association of Siamese Architects (ASA) is to hand a letter of protest to Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha over the Airports of Thailand’s (AOT) plan to build a 42-billion baht second passenger terminal at Suvarnabhumi International Airport.

 

Earlier, the ASA and related professional organizations held a panel discussion on the AOT’s controversial second passenger terminal plan. At the end of the discussion, they issued a joint statement opposing the project and determined to submit their protest to the Prime Minister.

 

The joint statement said the AOT had not followed the cabinet resolution of 2010 for the AOT to plan, design and implement the expansion of the existing passenger terminal to cope with the anticipated increase in passenger numbers.

"neither the ASA, nor the professional organizations have any vested interest whatsoever in either the terminal expansion project or the building of a new terminal."

Well maybe that's the problem - others may have a vested interest that might typically reach into the pockets of government agencies. With project oversight by a pro-military government led by the former military coup leader, transparency and accountability are "roads less traveled."

...prices seem to have gone up too....???
