PHUKET: The Phuket branch of Airports of Thailand (AoT Phuket), which operates Phuket International Airport, has insisted that it is not ignoring or delaying compensation owed to local residents in the area over noise pollution.

 

A group of about 20 local residents gathered at the airport yesterday (Dec 2) to voice their dissatisfaction with the lack of progress by AoT Phuket in delivering compensation owed due to noise pollution from aircraft flying overhead.

 

Leading the gathering were local resident Songwit Winyupradit and Boonpaisan Boonsop, Village Headman (Phu Yai Baan) of Moo 1 Mai Khao.

"The affected villagers are those who live around the airport and lived there before the [larger] airport was built. "

Maybe the property prices have slumped, they can't sell, cannot afford to purchase somewhere else.

maybe resident are elderly, out of work etc etc

Maybe moving isn't financially an option?
