Transport Suvarnabhumi Named World’s No.1 Airport for Airlines Served
File picture courtesy of CH3 Suvarnabhumi Airport has officially become the world’s number one airport in terms of the number of airlines operating, serving a record 113 carriers, according to a survey by Brilliant Maps. The Thai gateway has overtaken Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport, which now sits in second place with 105 airlines. The top five are rounded out by Dubai International Airport (97 airlines), Istanbul Airport (93), and Rome’s Leonardo da Vinci–Fiumicino Airport (92). Other airports in the top ten include Milan Malpensa (86), Shanghai Pudong (83), Tokyo Narita (83), Singapore Changi (82) and Frankfurt (80). Deputy Prime Minister and Transport Minister Suriya Juangroongruangkit on 21 July, hailed the achievement as a milestone for Thailand’s aviation sector and pledged to accelerate the development of the country’s airports. He emphasised that the Ministry of Transport and its associated agencies would work to improve infrastructure, services and capacity at all major airports to support economic recovery through trade, investment, and tourism. At Suvarnabhumi, which currently ranks 39th in the world for airport quality, up from 58th, the goal is to break into the global top 20 within five years. To achieve this, the airport is pushing ahead with several major upgrades. Plans include the expansion of Terminal 1 to the east, construction of a new Terminal 2 to the south near the Bang Na–Trat Road and development of a fourth runway. The airport will also integrate advanced digital technologies and smart systems to streamline operations and enhance the passenger experience. Suriya noted that the improvements are expected to boost annual passenger capacity to 120 million, creating a more comfortable and efficient journey for all travellers. “Our vision is not just to be a transit hub, but a destination that people enjoy spending time in,” he said. This recognition comes at a time when global aviation is recovering strongly from the pandemic downturn and Thailand is positioning itself as a key player in the region’s travel and logistics landscape.

Retirement Extension? Nah, I’m DTV Now.
Not difficult at all if you work with your dentist. First thing that comes to mind is orthodontics, which can easily take 2-3 years. But something like implants can take months, and even a few crowns or veneers can be spaced out to many months, especially when you take into account temporary placement, lab time, etc. -

Look of Love: The dusty grapes of Bordeaux, so dusty.....
The "dust" on grapes is Bloom, to protect the grapes against moisture loss, and like daveAustin said, has yeast which helps fermentation. -

Accident Buffalo Gets Head Stuck in Tractor Wheel – Rescue Team Saves the Day in Buriram
Picture courtesy of Matichon. In a bizarre and somewhat humorous, but heartwarming incident, rescue workers in Buriram province were called to assist an unlikely victim: a two-year-old female buffalo named Somwang, who had somehow managed to get her head stuck inside the wheel of a walk-behind tractor. The rescue occurred in Khok Khamin subdistrict, Plubplachai district, after the animal’s distressed owner, 54-year-old Mrs. Soma-ang, discovered Somwang struggling and thrashing near a hay storage shed on her farm. According to Mrs. Soma-ang, her husband had earlier removed the tractor wheel and leaned it against a support post inside the shed. At some point, the curious buffalo, likely in search of grass, had poked her head into the wheel and become tightly wedged. The animal’s large horns made it impossible to reverse out. Alarmed by the sight and the commotion, the family called on neighbours to help, but despite the efforts of 5–6 villagers, they were unable to free Somwang due to the horns blocking all exit angles. After more than two hours, with the buffalo growing visibly weak, Mrs. Soma-ang’s son contacted the Sawang Chanya Tham Rescue Unit, who arrived promptly with specialised rescue tools. The team used hydraulic spreaders to gently force the wheel’s metal apart and eventually freed Somwang after around 30 minutes of careful manoeuvring. Apart from minor scrapes, the buffalo escaped unscathed, to the relief of her family and onlookers. “It was hard to know whether to laugh or cry,” said Mrs. Soma-ang. “We were all worried, but once she was free, everyone was laughing and shaking their heads at how she got stuck in the first place!” The incident has since gone viral on Thai social media, where netizens praised the rescue team for their calm and effective response and Somwang for her resilience and charm.
