Villagers plan gathering against Suvarnabhumi noise

Transport Permanent Secretary Chaisawat Kittipornpaiboon said he would seek a meeting with the leader of residents living around Suvarnabhumi Airport for a discussion before they would stage a gathering on October 28.

"We would need to seek understanding before they would stage the gathering. Pressure would not speed up the negotiation which involves a procedure. The gathering would only complicate the negotiation," the official said.

Chaisawat, as chairman of the tri-party committee, said the committee did not try to buy time. However, the negotiation is a lengthy process and it requires consents from both the residents and Airports of Thailand which operates the airport.

The residents who suffer from the noise pollution from the airport plans to stage a gathering to protest against delayed compensations.

Wanchart Manathamsombat, a representative of the residents, said after the tri-party meeting on Wednesday that there has been no progress at all and as such residents plan the gathering on October 28.

AOT told the committee that an appraisal company faces a stumbling block on the assessment of noise level at 154 households where noise exposure is believed to be higher than 40 NEF.
