Chiang Mai will zweiten Flughafen, in Der Farang, 18. September 2023, von Björn Jahner.

There are still good signs that planning progress is being made for the new airport: Lanna International Airport.

The new airport will be built in the Ban Thi District area, Lamphun Province. The district borders Chiang Mai Province. From Baan Sammi to Ban Thi, it is about 35-40 kilometers by road, or about 25 km, as the crow flies in a south-southeast direction.

For the Baan Sammi location, this means a positive development of long-term improvement without disadvantages. We assume a scenario that will have the following characteristics:

● With the construction of the new airport, the realization of planning of the new outer bypass road will become necessary more or less simultaneously (see post dated 4 March 2023).
● Given the relatively large distance to the new airport, noise pollution is expected to be extremely low or even absent.
● The currently clearly visible trend of rising property prices in the area around Baan Sammi is likely to increase.
