Is there anyone the least bit surprised that King Power has "won" another 10-year monopoly to operate the duty-free shops at Suvarnabhumi airport? I did not realise that they are even aware of the serious problems posed by "noise pollution", but I don't see anything being done about it. The daily (and nightly) noise pollution in Bangkok and Chiang Mai mainly comes from the motors of tuk-tuks and motorbikes. Meanwhile, enforcing strict maintenance standards for owners of these 2- and 3-wheeled noise monsters would cut the noise pollution.
