Anti-graft body calls for scrutiny of two major projects at Suvarnabhumi airport

The Anti-Corruption Organization of Thailand (ACT) has expressed concern over alleged lack of transparency in two major projects at Suvarnabhumi International Airport.


In a statement, issued on Sunday, the private anti-graft watchdog also called on Thai media and the public to keep a close watch on the conduct of the company calling for bids on the two projects, the Airports of Thailand Company. The two projects are the 6.6 billion baht expansion of the second passenger terminal and bidding for the concession to operate duty-free shops at Suvarnabhumi, Phuket, Chiang Mai and Hatyai airports.


The anti-graft organization noted that the National Economic and Social Development Board, several Thai engineers and architect associations had voiced objections to the terminal expansion project, claiming that the project is unnecessary and a waste of taxpayers’ money because the three existing international airports, Suvarnabhumi, Don Meuang and U-tapao, which together can handle 100-120 million passengers per year, will soon be linked by high-speed train.

How about calling on the National Anti-Corruption Commission - it's their job!

April 2017:

The public and media have no hope of knowing any inside information unless an informant comes forth, albeit at great risk to harassment, arrest and/or defamation lawsuits.

You don't  get  out and about  much then? The scale and speed of construction is awesome ! 

And so is the cost of repairs soon afterwards. The dual carriageway near my home is only three years old but the patches started within the first year and their area now rivals that of the original tarmac and there are many more required.

You've forgotten the Bullets waiting for 'informants' !

Ok, roading is another issue. I was  referring to the railway construction.

It  most certainly is.

Since the contract to link the 3 Airports has not yet been awarded to either CP or BSR I would think it highly unlikely any construction has started. However the Northeastern High Speed Train project has started construction by the Chinese.
