Who is really responsible for all the problems with Bangkok's new international airport? Why are there really humongous safety problems with the new international airport in Bangkok, Thailand? I read the article and saw pictures of one of the runways all torn up, being repaired..pilots say this airport is terrible, safety-wise...who is at fault here, the Thai government, the airport's designers, or the builders? to the person who actually answered 'Airports in Thailand?'...did you think that Thailand is such a 'backwards' country that they don't have airports? Jeez...they have a national AIRLINE,Thai Airways. Even Third World countries are serviced by airlines. Add to that they have to have airfields for military use, humanitarian aid aka 'flying doctor' services, religious missionaries, and cargo. You must be short of smarts.
