CCTV cameras are now installed at City Hall, the exterior and interior cameras, currently in a test run, will replace the old system whereby visitors had to surrender their id cards for tickets in order to enter the building.

Amornpan Nimanant, Governor of Chiang Mai, introduces new security measures for Chiang Mai City Hall.

Amornpan Nimanant, Governor of Chiang Mai, told the press that CCTV cameras have been installed in the parking lot and at all gates, elevators and stairs in order to monitor City Hall for security and safety. "It is important that we are more careful, as the building has been subjected to violent protests involving fires before," Governor Amornpan said.

The Governor hopes the new system will not only ensure safety but enable ease of access for both public servants and residents. There are also plans to reinforce the gates of City Hall, fence in the motorcycle parking lot and install CCTV cameras there to help reduce the problems of theft from the parking lot.
