The Bangkok Post covers the story on an inquiry over a section of the land in the Samui airport that may actually belong to other public agencies. The land in question, is situated over 16 rai of land at the airport. 

However, the Governor of Surat Thani defends the land by saying it is required by the airport for aviation reasons. The land is part of the air safety zone where no structures, buildings or trees can obstruct the air zone.

The Council of State considers the strip of land belonging to the public. However, the land under question is required by Thailand Land law and in partner with the Thailand aviation law, where the development of buildings and trees is under heavy control. Surat Thani Governer Mr.Uaychai says the airport is “required to have the land there for safety reasons”.

If investigations conclude in the land belonging to public agencies, Bangkok Airways will comply with state court rulings.
