Laos plans to build what it calls an international airport in Tonpheung district of Bokeo province to offer and boost convenient for tourist arrivals.
According to local media reports, the construction of the airport should start early 2015. It will be located close to the border with Chiang Rai province, Thailand.
Huay Xai has a domestic airport and there is an airstrip for a casino close by on the Lao side of the Mekong River. The Bokeo airport project will ultimately position itself to compete with Chiang Rai’s Mae Fah Luang Airport, also designated as an international gateway by the Thai government.
