So assuming there will be an error in each paragraph let's read it as construction to start in 2025 to be completed by 2035 Edited January 11, 2021 by madmitch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LivinginKata Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 There is a dual highway from the airport to main dual road to Krabi etc. Think this is just to bypass the shops in the village. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this is the highway that will bypass most of Thepkasattri Road between Ko Kaew and the airport area, hence my surprise when Krabi and Phang Nga were mentioned. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iolare Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 It would be much more informative if the article included a map showing the location and route of the proposed highway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You won't get a map until all the prized location land has been purchased. Or you could run for council? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
