PHUKET:-- The island’s officials are preparing to manage the influx of visitors, both local and foreign, who swarm into Phuket during Songkran, which is being celebrated nationwide this week.

Phuket International Airport Director Monrudee Gettuphan has confirmed that an in-line screening system was recently added to the airport, which will help ease passenger congestion, make processing times faster and highlighting and alleviating any ‘suspicious circumstances’ that might affect the island.

Newly appointed Phuket Governor Norraphat Plodthong emphasized Songkran safety as his top priority on his first day in office today. Phuket Vice Governor Sanit Sriwihok has similarly revealed the safety measures that will be implemented during Songkran.
