Bangkok Airways has unveiled an ambitious plan to invest 2.3 billion baht in the expansion of Samui International Airport and Trat Airport over the next 2-3 years, according to the airline's president, Puttipong Prasarttong-Osoth.

 

Trat Airport will undergo significant upgrades, with a new passenger terminal and an expanded runway stretching 2,000-2,100 meters to accommodate larger aircraft such as the Boeing 737 and Airbus A320. These enhancements aim to facilitate international flights. Construction at Trat Airport is slated to commence in 2025 and conclude by 2026, with an estimated investment of 700-800 million baht.

 

Trat needs cheaper transport to the ferries, not the 600b it costs now, both are mafias the ferry company and the 'taxis' Songthaews.
