Community Thai Armed Forces Conduct Major Joint Disaster Relief Exercise in Sattahip

Thailand’s armed forces carried out a large-scale joint disaster relief training exercise, from 16 - 18 July, at the Air and Coastal Defence Command Training Centre in Sattahip district, Chonburi province. The annual operation, conducted in 2025 under the banner “One Team, Thai Forces – Duty First”, brought together multiple branches of the military in a coordinated effort to strengthen the national emergency response capabilities. The exercise, officially titled the 2025 Joint Disaster Relief Training Operation, simulated a range of natural disaster scenarios, including flooding, earthquakes and coastal emergencies. It aimed to enhance inter-agency coordination, improve tactical efficiency and reinforce the readiness of both personnel and equipment when responding to real-world crises. Participating units included members of the Royal Thai Navy, Royal Thai Army, Royal Thai Air Force, and personnel from various emergency support teams, local fire services, emergency responders and Bangkok Fire & Rescue USAR (urban search and rescue) team. Together, they demonstrated complex joint operations such as mass rescue efforts, rapid response deployment, first aid and casualty evacuation, logistics coordination and aerial/drone support for hard-to-reach areas. Rear Admiral Chaiyut Suphan, who oversaw the operations on behalf of the Royal Thai Navy, emphasised the importance of such joint exercises. “In the face of increasingly severe and unpredictable natural disasters, it is critical that Thailand’s armed forces are prepared to respond swiftly and effectively. This exercise ensures that every branch of our military can operate as one unified team in times of national need.” The training also included simulation of command and control procedures, mobile communication network setup and the use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to locate victims in difficult terrain. Public safety agencies and civilian emergency teams were also involved, reinforcing the concept of civil-military cooperation during large-scale disasters. Local officials from Chonburi province attended the event to observe procedures and discuss future integration of provincial emergency protocols with national defence forces. The Royal Thai Armed Forces have made disaster relief a key part of their peacetime mission, responding in recent years to floods in the North and Northeast, as well as search and rescue operations during maritime emergencies. With natural disasters becoming more frequent, the 2025 joint exercise served as a vital reminder of the military’s role not only in national defence but also in humanitarian relief and civilian protection.

Transport Suvarnabhumi Named World’s No.1 Airport for Airlines Served
File picture courtesy of CH3 Suvarnabhumi Airport has officially become the world’s number one airport in terms of the number of airlines operating, serving a record 113 carriers, according to a survey by Brilliant Maps. The Thai gateway has overtaken Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport, which now sits in second place with 105 airlines. The top five are rounded out by Dubai International Airport (97 airlines), Istanbul Airport (93), and Rome’s Leonardo da Vinci–Fiumicino Airport (92). Other airports in the top ten include Milan Malpensa (86), Shanghai Pudong (83), Tokyo Narita (83), Singapore Changi (82) and Frankfurt (80). Deputy Prime Minister and Transport Minister Suriya Juangroongruangkit on 21 July, hailed the achievement as a milestone for Thailand’s aviation sector and pledged to accelerate the development of the country’s airports. He emphasised that the Ministry of Transport and its associated agencies would work to improve infrastructure, services and capacity at all major airports to support economic recovery through trade, investment, and tourism. At Suvarnabhumi, which currently ranks 39th in the world for airport quality, up from 58th, the goal is to break into the global top 20 within five years. To achieve this, the airport is pushing ahead with several major upgrades. Plans include the expansion of Terminal 1 to the east, construction of a new Terminal 2 to the south near the Bang Na–Trat Road and development of a fourth runway. The airport will also integrate advanced digital technologies and smart systems to streamline operations and enhance the passenger experience. Suriya noted that the improvements are expected to boost annual passenger capacity to 120 million, creating a more comfortable and efficient journey for all travellers. “Our vision is not just to be a transit hub, but a destination that people enjoy spending time in,” he said. This recognition comes at a time when global aviation is recovering strongly from the pandemic downturn and Thailand is positioning itself as a key player in the region’s travel and logistics landscape.
