PRIME MINISTER Srettha Thavisin said during a visit to Phang Nga that the planned construction of an airport in this province right next to Phuket would be big enough to accommodate large aircraft as requested by provincial entrepreneurs, Matichon newspaper said.

 

These entrepreneurs also asked for a better quality public transport system for tourists as this would increase income in both this and nearby provinces as well as the holding of activities to boost tourism during low season.

 

Srettha, who was accompanied by Dr. Prommin Lertsuridej, head of Pheu Thai Party’s policy working group, the party’s MP Ms. Sudawan Wangsupakijkosol, Mr. Prompong Nopparit, a former party spokesman and Mr. Krit Seefah, the party’s candidate who ran in the general election here, was welcomed by Phang Nga Governor Mr. Ekarat Leesen.

No, it won't. The new airport is long overdue and will be built near to the Sarasin bridge, just 20km from the Phuket airport. Phang Nga will still be Phang Nga, which is empty and green.

The hoards will go to Phuket and Krabi mostly. Khao Lak is nice for European families, and Phang Nga town is just a sleepy provincial town. We even consider moving there ourselves.
