webfact Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 By Panithan Onthaworn The Department of Airports responded to social media complaints on Thursday over the new vacant terminal building at Phetchabun Airport, 400 kilometers north of Bangkok. They said the terminal will reopen after the Covid-19 pandemic subsides. Earlier this week, the Facebook page, Thailand Infrastructure, questioned why the government opted to build a new terminal building instead of renovating the existing one. The post drew plenty of netizens’ comments that the terminal is a waste of money. “Why do they keep building abandoned airports?” one user asked. “There is something fishy going on,” another user wrote.

GreasyFingers Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 Hope it does open up for commercial flights, much closer for us than Phitsanulok. But a flight to Bangkok would only be a little more than 1/2 hour so probably wont happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hotchilli Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 If it was viable before Covis it will be viable again in the future... A lack of passengers at the moment is the ideal time to renovate or re-build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CLW Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 100 percent sure if Thai media dig deeper, the building contractor is a relative or friend of local or state government officials.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
