The airfield homes may prove a runaway success.

Head of the management team, Suchat Raksanob, said that Department of Civil Aviation approval had been given to the 100 million baht project, which has been given the name Phuket Air Park.

Forty houses are scheduled to be part of the 100 million baht development, on land plots varying from half a rai to two rais. Electricity and other wiring will be underground.

MiniVDO: Phuket Deputy Governor inspected a private airfield in Paklok and found no public land encroachment.

The Phuket Vice Governor Smith Palawatwichai yesterday morning inspected a temporary air park belonging to Phuket Airpark Company which is located in Thalang’s Paklok, north of Phuket. The visit followed residents’ complaints that the company has encroached upon public land and earthed up the public channel. The managing director of the company Suchart Ruck-Sangob said that he had legally bought these 100 rai from local villagers with over 100 million baht. The air park is also licensed from the Department of Civil Aviation since March this year. As for the earth-filling in the public channel, the company had promptly removed it after the Paklok local government ordered them. The vice governor explained that he would focus on the public land (encroachment) issue which proved to be legal, and the permission for a temporary tent structure for small aircraft which he asked the company to legalize. As for its future project of property development, it is still not clear and he needs to check which laws are applicable.
