Suvarnabhumi » Security tightens at Suvarnabhumi Airport
Sunday, July 20th, 2008
Security measures at Bangkok Thailand’s Suvarnabhumi Airport were tightened Saturday, March 3, 2007, Makha Bucha Day, an important Buddhist religious occasion, following earlier warnings by security officials that an unprecedented bombing could take place in Thailand.
Suvarnabhumi Airport director Serirat Prasutanont said some airport exits were closed and added security personnel are patrolling the area. In addition, some passengers were being searched more thoroughly on a random basis before they entered the airport building.
Mr. Serirat said he was aware that the random searches might have caused inconveniences to passengers at the airport but he said such security measures were needed to prevent an untoward incident during the Makha Bucha Day, celebrated by Buddhists all over the country.
Despite today’s stricter security measures, the new Bangkok airport is still very busy with many people were seen leaving for upcountry and overseas.
Vut Kiendee, a native of the central province of Suphan Buri, said he was not worried about the bomb threats during the festival as he had full confidence in the security officials at Suvarnabhumi Airport.
Mr. Vut was boarding an aircraft bound for the Hat Yai in Songkhla province. Security officials earlier warned the public that a similar bombing to the New Year’s Eve could take place at key places on Makha Bucha Day and during Songkran, Thailand’s traditional New Year and water festival on April 13-15.
