"Six New Airports" to Be Built in Thailand?

Transcript of the above video: 

As the title of this video suggests, we are discussing six new airport airports are slated to be built here in Thailand. Let's go ahead and jump in here. 

I thought of making this video after reading a recent article from the Nation, that is nationthailand.com, the article is titled: Thailand lines up six new airports worth 26 billion Baht. Quoting directly: "Thailand's Department of airports has updated its plan to build six new airports worth a combined 26 billion Baht, with Bueng Kan Airport expected to be the first project submitted to Cabinet after its environmental impact assessment was approved. Danai Ruangsorn, Director General of the Department of Airports, said on May 7 that the Department's new Airport development plan covers six locations. Beung Kan Airport, valued at 8.1 billion Baht, has already received approval for its environmental impact assessment, or EIA, from the National Environment Board. The project is expected to be submitted to Cabinet for consideration within 2026. Construction is scheduled to begin in 2029, with the airport expected to open in 2032. It would become the 29th airport under the Department of Airports."

Yeah look, across the board, Thailand's travel infrastructure is being improved; I think that that's very safe to say. Now we've also seen this in the context of trains. We're not only seeing the ongoing construction of the high-speed train, but we also have a pretty sophisticated rail infrastructure here in Thailand to begin with anyway, and we have also seen highway infrastructure heavily promoted and the three airport, the sort of 20-year plan that involves the airport links. Those are going to have to do with the high-speed rail infrastructure as well. Long term, I see nothing but forward motion and forward momentum toward a very sophisticated travel infrastructure here in the Kingdom of Thailand.
