utapaortnab Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 Howdy all, While Lat and I were up in Udon Thani (a 4 1/2-5 hr bus ride from Chiayaphum one way) last week we heard, during casual conversation with friends we have there, that the Udon Thani airport is to become the Udon Thani Int'l Airport starting in March sometime. No one involved in the conversation could explain where planned Int'l flights originating from Udon Thani would conclude however. Does any member here have any info on this?

wix Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 It might be a bit like the Chiang Rai International Airport. The name says international but there are no international flights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thaising Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 Maybe flights within indochina countries. To call it inter-link airport may not sound good, but with the word international this airport may look huge Just think of it, how many attraction sites Isan can offer to bring in international tourist and you will be able to figure it out.

Backpack_thailand Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 All it would need is one weekly scheduled flight to either Vientiane or Phnom Penh and then they can officially claim to be an "international" airport!! Not sure, but I believe from Chiang Rai there is at least one flight to Yangon (Burma) which therefore also makes them international as well.
