Travel Suvarnabhumi Ranked Among World’s Best for Air Connectivity

Suvarnabhumi Airport has been ranked among the top 10 airports in the world for air connectivity in 2024, according to a report released by the Airports Council International Asia-Pacific and Middle East (ACI APAC & MID) in collaboration with global consulting firm PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC). Thailand’s main international gateway secured 7th place in the “Top 10 Hub Airports with Connectivity Leadership” and 9th place in the “Top 10 Airports in Air Connectivity” for 2024. The rankings were based on a variety of criteria, including network scale and frequency, the economic importance of destinations served and the quality and efficiency of passenger connections. These factors help determine how well airports facilitate both domestic and international travel, as well as their strategic importance in the global aviation network. The Airports of Thailand Public Company Limited (AOT), which operates Suvarnabhumi, hailed the recognition as a reflection of the airport’s growing role as a vital regional transport hub and a gateway to ASEAN. “The achievement highlights Suvarnabhumi Airport’s strategic position in the Asia-Pacific region and its role in connecting passengers across continents,” an AOT spokesperson said on 1 August. Suvarnabhumi recently expanded its infrastructure, with the opening of the SAT-1 terminal, further enhancing its operational capacity. The improvements aim to accommodate growing passenger volumes and to improve service quality. AOT reaffirmed its commitment to continuous development and innovation to meet global standards, enhance passenger experience and strengthen Thailand’s competitiveness in both the aviation and tourism sectors.

Crime Governor Fires Subdistrict Chief Over Corruption
Picture courtesy of Khaosod. The Governor of Nakhon Si Thammarat has dismissed the head of a subdistrict administrative organisation (SAO) after the National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) found credible evidence of misconduct in a public renovation project. According to an official order dated 30 July 2025, Mr. Somchai Leelanoi, Governor of Nakhon Si Thammarat, signed directive No. 4850/2568 ordering Mr. Chalermphop to vacate his position as Mayor of the Na Pho SAO in Thung Song District. The dismissal was made under Section 92 of the Subdistrict Council and Subdistrict Administrative Organisation Act B.E. 2537 (1994), as amended to the 7th version (B.E. 2562), in conjunction with Section 98 of the Organic Act on Anti-Corruption B.E. 2561 (2018). The investigation followed complaints filed with the NACC, which alleged that the SAO head had authorised renovation work at the SAO office building. However, only his personal office was refurbished, with no improvements made to other areas of the facility. The contract, worth 121,400 baht, was found to have been awarded to an associate of the mayor. The project was reportedly initiated prior to formal contracting, in violation of procurement regulations. The NACC concluded that Mr. Chalermphop’s actions were aimed at personal benefit rather than the improvement of services for staff and the general public. It further determined that the conduct amounted to a criminal offence and constituted a serious breach of duty, either through wilful neglect or improper use of authority, in violation of Section 90/1 of the Subdistrict Council Act. Following the dismissal, Ms. Thipamphon Khamsri, the permanent secretary of Na Pho SAO, confirmed that she had assumed acting responsibilities for the mayoral post and had begun coordinating with the Election Commission regarding the process of electing a new mayor. The Election Commission is expected to make an official announcement on 7 August. Candidate registration is scheduled for 11–15 August, with the election date set for 21 September 2025.
