European arrivals via Suvarnabhumi Airport rose year-on-year to 2.1 million
Thursday, November 1st, 2007The number of European visitors to Thailand is likely to grow by 20-25% in the coming high season and could compensate for falling arrivals from East Asia, said the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT).
Based on the nine-month figure, arrivals from Europe via Suvarnabhumi Airport rose about 13% year-on-year to 2.1 million. Tourists from Scandinavia and Eastern Europe showed the highest growth, helping to draw total arrivals from the region to 30% of the projected 14.8 million foreign tourists this year.
Political factors and a poor Thai economy caused East Asian tourism to drop, with only 3.5 million Japanese visitors in the first nine months, compared with 3.81 million the same period of 2006.
State Railway given one month to finish Airport Rail Link plan
Wednesday, October 24th, 2007The state railway has been given one more month to complete its plan for the operation of the Bangkok Airport Rail Link so it can begin running on schedule. Deputy Transport Minister Sansern Wongcha-um said the railway linking Suvarnabhumi airport and Makkasan in the inner city was due to open late next year.
However, the State Railway of Thailand (SRT) still did not have a concrete plan for its operation or for establishing the entity to run the system.
Setting up the operating body and training staff to run the service would all take time, and there was not much time remaining, he said.
Airport Rail Link from Makkasan to Suvarnabhumi is way behind schedule
Friday, June 15th, 2007The multibillion-baht Airport Rail Link from Makkasan to Suvarnabhumi is way behind schedule and over budget.
Last week experts met to thrash out how it can be saved before banks pull their support.
State Railway of Thailand (SRT) deputy governor Nakorn Chanthasorn said the situation was critical.
“Originally, we were supposed to pay for the link after it was completed. The previous Cabinet resolved that we would pay up 990 days after work commenced,” he said.
“This means the State Railway of Thailand (SRT) needs to find as much as 22.6 billion Baht within the next few months. We are asking for a Cabinet solution.”
