The better newspaper to break news about airport stories.

Post by SN30952 »

This coming Wednesday, the Foreign Correspondents' Club of Thailand has asked Sermsuk Kasitipradit to address members about problems at the airport and his ordeal of being sacked by the Bangkok Post two years ago for running an expose of the runway-construction crisis.

Sermsuk was dismissed on August 29, 2005 after writing an August 6 front-page story telling of cracking on the new airport's western runway.

Bangkok Post bowed to prime-ministerial pressure and agreed to retract the allegations and apologise.

The Bangkok Post fired him after 22 years.... by then editor David Armstrong, now the newspaper's chief executive.
(Armstrong, what's in a name again?)
Think twice when you buy a newspaper in Thailand....
There better choice is The Nation to learn about the airport story - this an aviation website - :roll:
