Ah, what about those Ugihurs (forgot how to spell)... they came from China. And of course only peaceful Thai loving Muslims in Malaysia.

Danger from Scandinavia is boring folks to death I reckon Scandinavians are generally very nice people. However,do you remember the guy who gunned down about 100 kids a few years ago on that island off Norway (Sweden?). There's always an exception to the rule.

joebrown Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 No security concern as 3,000 tourists entering the country without security check BANGKOK: -- The director-general of the Airport's Department and acting director of the Civil Aviation Authority of Thailand assured yesterday of no security concern after Krabi international airport allowed about 3,000 tourists to enter the country without computer screening checks during a six-hour power blackout at the airport. Mr Chula Sukmanop said most of the 3,000 tourists came on chartered flights in group tours with certified tour companies. Besides they are mostly Scandinavians, Chinese and Malaysians, he said. Therefore this could not cause a security concern, he said. He said the blackout was caused by error on the power backup system which could still keep on functioning for only two hours after the blackout. But he said the airport has no additional power backup system which is normally necessary for all airports. However he said that the incident has prompted the need to check power backup systems of all airports with both domestic and international flights as in near future these airports are expected ton receive higher number of visitors. They include Krabi, Udon Thani, and Surat Thani, he added. The power blackout hit Krabi airport since 10 am. Power supply was restored six hours later, during which 10 flights with about 3,000 tourists arriving. Source: http://englishnews.thaipbs.or.th/content/150708 -- Thai PBS 2016-02-12 "Therefore, this could not cause a security concern, he said". With assurances like this from anyone involved in the Thai aviation industries, what could possibly go wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whyamiandwhatamidoinghere Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Scandinavians, Chinese and Malaysians are no security concern. None in that trio would ever commit crimes in Thailand especially from the South to Malaysia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whyamiandwhatamidoinghere Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Oh and don't worry I never see tour groups stand in front of an Immigration officer because the tour companies just bring the tourist's passports up to the desk for stamping in and out. So what difference does it make if the computers are up or down? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a suggestion if this is a proven fact (and not just yet another stupid statement.....my tongue firmly in cheek when I suggest ) If this particular group are not a "a security concern" why not give them separate lines at all entry points to Thailand should rapidly improve Immigration / customs entry times for all those coming here that are security concerns ..

Krataiboy Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 No concern? The majority of Malaysians are Muslims and Scandinavian countries, notably Sweden and Denmark, have large communities of immigrants from Islamic countries. China is home to militant Uighurs, believed to be behind the Erewan Shrine bomb blast in Bangkok. So just keep your fingers and toes crossed.
