Passengers were seen arriving at the airport on Saturday to ask for information about the reopening of the airport. Officials arranged vehicles to provide transport for passengers to other airports in the nearby southern provinces of Surat Thani, Hat Yai and Krabi. Floods persist in seven southern provinces, with more than 900,000 people affected by inundations that have resulted in 22 deaths over the past 15 days.
