THE PROPOSAL
Chiang Mai should be the centre of financial hub
According to the high speed rail plan that will finish in 2020. One destination that high speed train will go is Chiang Mai. It's like final station of Northern part of Thailand. Therefore there will be more traveller or people that will come to ChiangMai by this transportation due to less amount of time that use to travel.
This diagram show flight data from ChiangMai international airport that from the year 2008 until now. Number of passengers that use CNX and number of flight that depart and arrive at the airport are continually increasing year by year. Nowadays the airport accommodates 110-120 flights a day. During the tourism season, the number will increase to 130.
Therefore Thailand Government aims to develop Chiang Mai as a centre of Northern part of Thailand especially financial hub.
