bobnoxy Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 Anyone have any idea what's up with the new airport in Chiang Mai? On schedule? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante99 Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 Do you mean the new ariport that was planned 23 years ago, ECD 1998 or the new airport that was planned 17 years ago, ECD 2012? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alant Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 Very quiet, my wife says takes time to arrange land purchase but I don't know if that is the reason. There has been an election, OK wont make nay difference to who is in power but could it derail infrastructure plans? I suspect it will be similar to the rail project, high speed rail link to Chiang Mai??? Maybe the new airport will enable flying pigs to land.

I was under the impression the land had already been purchased years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyecatcher Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 When you have been swept up in all those other fake stories over the years you tend to take everything with a pinch of salt "New cable car plans to Doi Suthep" "Tram system to Chiang Mai nears approval" "high speed rail link to Bangkok now priority" "new passenger terminal now desperate at CNX" "Promenada shopping mall will be a world beater" "Immigration rules and regulations scrapped" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adam1 Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 It was officially approved a few months ago according to the media. I suspect a lot of land procuration, flattening, etc. will be the first order of the day. One could always take a drive-by and have a looksee ????

The purchase of land? The construction contracts? The idea of a new airport someplace in CM? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybole Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 Its all Taksin's fault. When in power he arranged that Lanna Thais got their fair share of government spending. Now the Junta is taking it back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyecatcher Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 In all seriousness, you will not be flying out of a new airport here in your lifetime. The timeline would go something like this: Red tape and politics...10-20years Build a single terminal intl airport 2-3yrs Second terminal 5yrs Delays due to budget cock ups 2yrs Delays due to contract overruns 2yrs So starting on site tomorrow say 7yrs, but realistically its a rolling 30yrs lead in.

thaibeachlovers Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 They don't need another airport, but they do need a proper car park building. Domestic air travel is not good anyway- causes too much pollution of the upper atmosphere. High speed trains are the way to go, but I guess that's a lost hope in LOS.
