The public hearing for the Phu San Fa Airport project in Mae Taeng, Chiang Mai, was terminated midway after a private organizing company found serious document irregularities and suspected tampering. From the first day on September 28, the venue was crowded with outsiders and disorderly conduct. During document screening, staff discovered that some attendees were using photocopied papers from outside rather than the official forms handed out at registration, and certain registration data did not match. These issues undermined the transparency and credibility of the feedback process. On September 29, similar problems persisted, prompting the organizers to immediately cancel the remaining sessions to avoid potential violence, protect public and government property, and reduce community division. Although the first day's opinions were roughly evenly split, the organizers stressed that the lack of credibility due to document flaws meant the results had no official standing and should not be cited. The company will now gather evidence and submit a report to the Civil Aviation Authority of Thailand (CAAT), and will consider legal action if wrongdoing is found. The airport authority reiterated its commitment to coexist with the local community and to listen to residents' concerns in order to resolve issues together.
