I was in Chiang Rai a couple of months ago for the first time in many years, and the airport is in absolutely appalling condition. If they actually care about "passenger satisfaction", they could start by just doing basic repairs and maintenance in the check-in and gate areas - no need to join any "programme".

Thanks, I was hoping to get real feedback from actual users as to their experience. The OP report is full of praise that it can only be seen as BS.
