At 4:30 PM on December 24th, 2024, Pol. Maj. Gen. Phanumas Bunyalak, the acting commissioner of the Royal Thai Immigration Bureau, led over 200 officers in a crime crackdown operation at Suvarnabhumi Airport.
The initiative is part of nationwide efforts to ensure safety and boost confidence among tourists during the Christmas and New Year holidays, aligning with the “Amazing Thailand Grand Tourism and Sports Year 2025” campaign.
Similar operations are being conducted in key tourist destinations, including Bangkok’s CentralWorld, Chiang Mai’s Three Kings Monument, Nong Khai’s Thai-Lao Friendship Bridge, Songkhla’s Hat Yai Park, and Pattaya Beach in Chonburi.
The focus includes intelligence gathering, safety inspections, and crime prevention to reassure tourists and support Thailand’s economic growth through tourism.
Pol. Maj. Gen. Phanumas highlighted measures to streamline immigration at airports during the holiday surge, including reducing document scanning steps and increasing personnel on holidays. Enhanced equipment and vehicles are deployed to ensure smooth operations and handle peak crowds effectively.
