Bangkok airport to reopen on Friday, December 5th 2008
updated: December 3rd 2008
Thai authorities are to reopen Bangkok’s Suvarnabhumi international airport on Friday, as a birthday present to the country’s popular King Bhumibol Adulyadej who turns 81.
The move comes after Thailand’s airports chairman found little damage following an inspection. The Bangkok’s Suvarnabhumi international airport was due to reopen on December 15, after being closed for nearly a week when anti-government protesters took over the building. But the reopening date was moved forward because an inspection found the airport could become operational more quickly.
