I've been to 4 of these, but would never have thought DM would be one.  Though I'm not a golfer!

It isn't based on any actual facts about the safety of the airport. Just the novelty of there being a golf course in the middle.

Plus a fairly-uninformed jibe about hookers & soldiers, the article can't be worth the paper it isn't printed on, they don't even appear to recognise that DMK was replaced by a new airport in 2006, which handles almost-all international flights to Bangkok.

Poor sensationalist journalism, pandering to the prejudices of the uninformed, makes 'the Nation' look like the pre-Murdoch 'Times' ! Posted Image

Just read the headline - "....Most Deadliest...." -  that tells you everything you need to know about the quality of the journalism in the article. No need to read, file in the bin.

Bad grammar in the headline was indeed the tipoff to this piece of trash.

Agree.. Since the PuffingtonHost was bought by AOL, it's gone even further downhill.  Even AOL's value hasn't recovered.

Rubbish article. I've flown into Mwanza many times from Dar, concrete with a tar cover.
