The samples consisted of 40 staff of Buriram Airport, including five bureaucrats, five bureaucrat employees, 10 permanent employees, and 20 temporary employees. In addition, 15 representatives of 40 samples, including two bureaucrats, two bureaucrat employees, fourมหาวิทยาลัยราชภัฏบุรีรัมย์ permanent employees, and seven temporary employees were purposively selected for a focus group discussion. The research instruments consisted of a questionnaire and a focus group discussion. The descriptive statistics for analyzing the quantitativeBuriram data were percentage, Rajabhat mean and standard deviation University while the content analysis was conducted for analyzing the qualitative data. The research findings revealed that: 1. The samples needed to develop speaking and listening skills much more than reading and writing skills. They needed to study both the general terms and specific terms as well as both general conversations and specific conversations used in service and aviation aspects. 2. Two appropriate innovations which were manual and video were needed by the samples. The ESP course designed for the staff of Buriram Airport consisted of 11 topics. 3. The overall satisfaction of the staff on English language innovation was at a high level at an average of 4.49. When considering in each aspect, it was found that the sample group had the highest level of satisfaction with the manual design at an average of 4.52 and also the aspect of English content received a very high satisfaction level at the average of 4.48. มหาวิทยาลัยราชภัฏบุรีรัมย์ Buriram Rajabhat University ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The accomplishment of this thesis would never have been possible without the support and assistance of my thesis major advisor, Assistant Professor Dr. Akkarapon Nuemaihom and my co-advisor, Assistant Professor Dr. Kampeeraphab Intanoo whom I would like to express my sincere thankfulness for their kindness, invaluable advices and guidance through my M.A. course at Buriram Rajabhat University (BRU).

Airport connectivity is one of indicators to evaluate airport performance. Airport connectivity can be define as the airline network of airport, related to frequency of flight and number of flights from origin to destination. Airport with good connectivity is attractive for passengers. This paper aimed to evaluate airport connectivity of medium sized airports in Thailand, which are Sakon Nakhon airport (SNO), Nakhon Phanom airport (KOP), Nannakhon airport (NNT), Phitsanulok airport (PHS) and Trang airport (TST) by using NETSCAN model during October, 2017. It was found that Phitsanulok airport (PHS) has the highest connectivity unit, with more frequency of flights. Keywords Airport connectivity, Local Airport, NetScan Connectivity Index 1. Introduction Air transportation is one of the important factors of life quality improvement. It plays an important role in the economy and society of the world. It is a convenient, faster and safer transportation service than other mode of transportation. Nowadays, air transportation industry is growing rapidly, and customer are attractive to travel by air more than the past.

    Ref. No. 15867 29 November 2018 Subject: Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Statements To: President, The Stock Exchange of Thailand Airports of Thailand Public Company Limited and its subsidiaries Management discussion and analysis of financial statements for the year ended September 30 th , 2018 Overall performance and significant events The overall aviation industry of Thailand during October 2017 - September 2018 has improved comparing to the same period last year. This is in line with growth in the tourism sector. A support from the Thai government on the tourism contributed to such growth. As a consequence, a number of tourists travelling to Thailand increases, especially for Chinese tourists. The rapid expansion of low cost airlines leads to the price competition. This benefits to passengers due to cheaper air fares and the diversity of flight routes. Moreover, the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) has removed Thailand from the list of significant safety concerns. As a result, Thai airlines can expand its service and increase the number of flights. This is positive to both aviation industry and the overall economy. For the year ended September 30 th , 2018, the air traffic volume from six airports under the Airports of Thailand Public Company Limited (AOT) was 874,999 flights, a 6.24% increase comparing to last year. It comprised 462,225 international flights and 412,774 domestic flights. The total number of passengers was 139.52 million, a 7.99% increase comparing to last year. It comprised 80.49 million international passengers and 59.03 million domestic passengers which mainly from the increase in international flights and passengers.

  • Linking Transport Infrastructure Development in the North with Neighboring Countries (31/12/2017)
    Linking Transport Infrastructure Development in the North with Neighboring Countries (31/12/2017) The Government is setting a priority for developing transport infrastructure in northern Thailand, linking with CLMV countries, which comprise Cambodia, Lao PDR, Myanmar, and Vietnam. The objective is to promote tourism and economic activities in a more systematic manner. Prime Minister General Prayut Chan-o-cha touched on this issue in his national address on 29 December 2017, following his visit to Phitsanulok and Sukhothai provinces and a cabinet retreat in Sukhothai on 26 December. He had instructed the Ministry of Transport to accelerate the construction of the second Chiang Mai International Airport, expand runways at Lampang, Phrae, and Nan airports, and improve various services at Phitsanulok airport. Among major transport infrastructure projects being planned in the North is the construction of the Chiang Mai Chiang Rai motorway. A Multi-Modal Transportation Logistics Center will also be built in Phitsanulok, connecting with the Sila At railway station in Uttaradit. Another project is a light rail transit system, to be invested in by the Government, or under the \"Public Private Partnership (PPP) program. Northern Thailand has great potential and vast opportunities for linking trade and services with countries in the Greater Mekong Subregion. Construction of ongoing double-track and high-speed rail projects will even contribute to trade and tourism opportunities in the North. The northern region covers 33 percent of Thailands total area. Its population accounts for 18.3 percent of the countrys total population. The aging population in the North is the highest of all regions in Thailand.

    Office of Transport and Traffic Policy and Planning Ministry of Transport The Study on Transport and Traffic Development Master Plan Executive Summary Report By PCBK International Co., Ltd. Tha mmasat University Research and Consultancy Institute 㸫ࠉ㸫115 February 2011 The Study on Transport and Traffic Development Master Plan FOREWORD At present, the transportation sector has been facing changes in terms of economy, society, technology development, and participation in Asean Economic Community (AEC) in 2015.
