petedk Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 This "gateway" is "is now being renovated to increase annual passenger capacity from 6.5 million to 12.5." What will do they do about the single Internet gateway? Joke aside. What exactly do they mean by "gateway to andaman"? Is it simply increasing the number of incoming passengers to Phuket.

Kannikapor88 Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 "Gateway to Andaman" ... do they never think before they spout some slogan campaign no matter how stupid ... ?

"What exactly do they mean by "gateway to andaman?" - they mean, cheap flights, from all around the world, into Phuket Airport, as an entry point into Thailand, and then you get connecting transport, whether that be car, boat or plane, off the island of Phuket, but you are counted as tourists number to Phuket.

Jimi007 Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 I think they mean; more "quality tourists" departing the airport on unsafe tour buses! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stargeezr Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 The Phuket airport needs a second runway to be a safe place for such an increase in their travellers. Not sure how they would go about doing this, but if there is ever a crash now, the place would be a disaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
