'Offers Free Parking for Travelers' meanwhile every other day it is almost impossible to get in to park - a queue forms & of course the VIPs go to the front & it becomes a free-for-all.

50 baht saved, vital to somebody getting on an expensive flight!

This free parking is offered every year, strikes me as an irresponsible move for a business to make at a time when a lot of money could be made. I bet it is due to an inability to have the manpower to collect fees, as they will just take the time off anyhow.

Anticipating an increasing number of flights, what a load of B ollock's, does he really think that the airlines just fly in and out without any forward planning / notification of there schedules. 

 

But then of course maybe he doesn't have a clue about what's going on, he's only the President - what ever that means.
