The Airports Department has proposed building a new airport in Nakhon Pathom province west of Bangkok to relieve congestion at the capital's two main gateways.
The 20-billion-baht facility, to be built on 3,500 rai straddling Bang Len and Nakhon Chaisi districts, will take four years to put up, said Jarun Meesomboon, the department's deputy director-general.
"The investment could be in the form of a public-private joint venture or a state-owned project, pending further study," he said.
