Under the government’s tourism support policy, Minister of Tourism and Sports, Sarawut Thienthong, instructed the Tourist Police Division to boost safety measures and instill confidence among visitors. In response, Police General Kittirat Phanpet, the National Police Chief, ordered heightened safety and security protocols for the high season.

 

Tourist Police Commissioner, Lieutenant General Sak Sira Pueakum, alongside Deputy Commissioner Police Major General Pongsayam Meekhuntong, led an operation targeting illegal foreign labour in tourism-related areas. The effort focused on criminal activities impacting the broader tourism industry.

 

Police Colonel Songwut Cheuplakit, Head of the Tourist Police Investigation Unit, joined forces with Immigration Division 1 officers for a sweep in the Tiam Ruam Mitr area of Huai Khwang, where they uncovered several foreign nationals working illegally under the Alien Employment Management Act.
