i'm doubtful that a Phang Nga airport would ever be close to successful, methinks will meet the same fate as Betong: a lovely area served by an airport that nobody uses! there just aren't enough popular destinations in the province to justify it- yes, you've proven that there are stunningly beautiful destinations there, but there's not the preponderance of options that exist in Phuket or Krabi!
