Bangkok

From our own correspondent: Bangkok

It's not just the UK that's suffering from unrestrained aviation growth: local residents in Bangkok are up in arms over growing aircraft noise.

In response to complaints from residents, representatives of the Transport Ministry, Airports of Thailand (AoT), the Lawyers Council of Thailand and local homeowners have formed a committee to discuss ways to tackle the growing problems with the airport. Despite warm words, residents have complained that the AoT, who own Bangkok airport, have been desperately trying to evade responsibility.
