The Royal Thai Air Force (RTAF) has bowed to a protest against its plan to allow 100 rai of its Wing 23 airfield, dubbed Seri Thai World War II Airport, in Kalasin's Na Khu district to be used for a sugar cane cultivation project.
Wing 23 agreed to terminate the project, Naruenat Muangsaen, chief of Na Khu district office, said on Tuesday, citing an agreement reached during talks with the protesting group.
Instead, Wing 23 has agreed to allow Na Khu Hospital to use a further 25 rai of its land for expansion, and also donate more for a new public park to be built in memory of the late Princess Srinagarindra.
