Opposition Mounts Against Chiang Mai Airport's Plan to Extend Operating Hours
The proposed plan to extend the operating hours of Chiang Mai International Airport is facing opposition from locals who have not received compensation for damages caused by the airport's activities. Residents are requesting the Administrative Court's intervention to halt the plan for 24-hour operations. The Airports of Thailand has yet to address the residents' concerns, including excessive noise and vibration. Despite assurances from airport officials, residents are demanding clarity on accessing the compensation fund and a fresh environmental impact assessment.
