Crime Suspected Explosive Device Safely Detonated on Patong Beach
UPDATE Phuket Governor Assures Public After Suspicious Devices Found Picture courtesy of Khoasod. Phuket authorities have confirmed that the situation is now under control following the discovery of three suspicious devices locations around the island. Provincial Governor Sophon Suwannarat chaired an emergency security meeting on the afternoon of 26 June, after the items were found and neutralised at Phuket International Airport, Patong Beach and Promthep Cape. The meeting, held at the provincial government office, was attended by senior security officials including Police Major General Sinlert Sukhum, Commander of Phuket Provincial Police, and representatives from administrative, military and law enforcement agencies. It focused on assessing the threat and tightening safety measures at high-profile tourist areas. Following the meeting, Governor Sophon assured the public that all suspicious objects had been examined and posed no real threat. “The devices were not explosive in nature,” he said. “They were designed to make loud noises but lacked any shrapnel or components that could cause harm. It appears the intent was to incite fear rather than to inflict damage.” He suggested the motive was to disrupt tourism rather than to target lives, linking the incident to the discovery of firearms in the area earlier in the week. Governor Sophon said that heightened security measures were being deployed, including area-wide and personal screenings, to restore public confidence, particularly among international visitors. He expects the situation will return to normal within two to three days. Phuket’s 11 police stations have been instructed to conduct inspections across all districts, while local officials, including district chiefs and village leaders, have been tasked with monitoring newcomers and identifying suspicious behaviour. Security will also be tightened at Tha Chatchai checkpoint at the northern entrance to the island, with plans underway to install modern facial recognition and hazardous materials scanners. In response to concerns over the impact on tourism, the governor said letters had been sent to travel agencies explaining that Phuket remains safe. He urged both residents and tourists to report any suspicious behaviour or objects immediately. “The safety of Phuket must be a collective responsibility,” he said. “Let us work together to protect our home and reputation as a safe destination.” When asked whether the incidents might be linked to unrest in Thailand’s Deep South, Governor Sophon acknowledged that the perpetrator originated from one of the southern border provinces but said investigations were ongoing. Police Chief Sinlert Sukhum confirmed that three locations had been targeted, the airport, Patong Beach and Promthep Cape and that fragments from each device were being analysed. “Initial investigations suggest the purpose was to create panic, not cause harm,” he said. “For instance, the device at Promthep Cape was hidden beneath a concrete slab and covered with stones in an area where no one would typically go.” He added that the devices appeared to have timers attached, though their significance was still under analysis. Crucially, he noted that the suspects had travelled without raising suspicion, using vehicles with legitimate documentation and no stolen plates. “They blended in seamlessly,” he said. “That’s why they were able to enter the province undetected.” Security agencies continue to monitor the situation closely, with a focus on securing tourist zones and analysing possible connections to broader national security concerns.
