"The Association of Domestic Travel (ADT) and the Thai Hotels Association (THA) yesterday voiced their objection to a plan to move most domestic flights from Suvarnabhumi Airport to Don Muang Airport as it would inconvenience travellers . . .the use of two airports in Bangkok would not help, because those who had to fly on both routes would have to travel from one airport to the other.

The two airports are located far apart without a mass-transportation system to connect them yet."

The article also makes this interesting quote about a decline in tourism in Thailand:

"ATTA figures show tourists using its members from January 1-14 totalled 97,501, 9.1 per cent down from 107,265 in the same period last year."
