Phayao wants an international airport

Dr Praphan Thianwiharn, mayor of Tambon Maeka, said an airport in the northern province could also serve Chiang Rai, Nan and Phrae.
Praphan on Thursday morning showed reporters the 2,500 rai that the municipality, citizens and private firms had assembled for construction of an international airport.
He said the province’s geography made it suitable for an airport because there were no obstructions to aircraft take-offs and landings.
Praphan said the governor and the public and private sectors would coordinate efforts to push for an airport to be built.
