Oh, definitely. Certainly you must know the earth rotates around Bangkok!
The world, according to many Thais, consists of Bangkok, surrounded by Thailand, with on the fringes something like Bad Birma, Little Laos, distant China and something insignifant called farangland.
The question remains: under which Thai king will it become a hub? My guess is Rama XXV.
I spoke with several farang managers, none of them believes the real opening (of operations) will be remotely possible in September. Possibly a face saving grand opening, maybe one or two flights, but they are quite certain that will be it.
