BANGKOK: -- POLICE have boosted security at the Russian and Turkish embassies in Bangkok after an off-duty Turkish policeman gunned down the Russian ambassador as he gave a speech at an exhibition in Ankara, the Turkish capital.

 

Acting deputy city police chief Pol Maj General Panurat Luckboon said he had ordered additional checkpoints to be set up in front of the Turkish Embassy in Suthisan, and the Russian Embassy in Bang Rak district.

 

He spoke after chairing a meeting of officials from the Army, the National Intelligence Agency, Immigration Police, plus senior provincial police via a video conference network.

True. Nobody takes security seriously. Even those who are supposed to be responsible for it. Not sure if you live in BKK but there is a security desk outside EmQuartier - on the walkway that joins the complex to the Phrom Phong BTS station. The personnel seated at this desk are properly dressed, in their uniforms and most of the time, they have their stupid faces buried in their smartphones. Those not doing so are either chatting or just doodling around.
