PM issues orders to address Don Mueang chaos


PRIME MINISTER Prayut Chan-o-cha has ordered relevant agencies to ensure that long immigration queues at Don Mueang International Airport will be resolved quickly.

He said yesterday that he had instructed the Immigration Bureau, Airports of Thailand and the Ministry of Transport to prepare contingency plans to deal with chaos similar to that seen at the airport last Friday, when passengers had to wait up to five hours to be processed by immigration officials.

He also urged people not to criticise the previous incident too intensively, particularly on social media. “What they say will cause damage to the tourism industry,” he said.
