First, I’d like to express my sympathy for those who have lost the loved ones in the plane crash in Phuket. From how I understand it, fingers are pointing back and forth between the Airline (One-To-Go Airline) camp and the airport authority camp over the misguided/misjudge landing.
According to a transcript of the conversation between the control tower and the plane, ground officials informed the Indonesian pilot, Arief Mulyadi, about wind shear at the airport but he decided to land anyway, the Air Transport Department’s director-general, Chaisak Ungsuwan, said on The Nation TV channel.
Since the majority of the passengers are foreigners (non Thai), this again likely will be a major hurt to Thai toursim. I’m all for the good good good for this country I call home but if shit like this keeps happening, visiting Thailand will not be a top choice for people (unless the rest of the world is screwed worse) .
