PHUKET:  -- In her last act as Director of Phuket International Airport, Monrudee Gettuphan yesterday (June 4) visited the passenger in hospital who suffered head injuries in a ceiling collapse at the airport’s Domestic Terminal on Saturday (June 3).

 

Buncha Sangguanam, 58, was sitting in the airport’s Domestic Departure Terminal waiting for his 3:25pm Nok Air flight to Bangkok when ceiling tiles and metal frames came crashing down on him.

 

Mr Buncha was initially taken to Thalang Hospital, but later transferred to Bangkok Hospital Phuket, where Ms Monrudee and other senior members of Phuket Airport management yesterday assured him that Airports of Thailand (AoT) will pay for his medical expenses.

 

AoT, which operates Thailand’s six main international airports, had already arranged for a full refund on his flight ticket.

I'd be after numerous free flights, as opposed to a useless hamper !

"AoT, which operates Thailand’s six main international airports, had already arranged for a full refund on his flight ticket."

no mention of other compensation,I hope at least they are paying for his hospital treatment.

regards worgeordie

the same inappropriate smile Thais wear at every horrible traffic accident.

I don't see any fruit. Just a lot of small jars and small boxes. I did think about your post when I first saw this photo opportunity ...

 

Wonder why it was the Airport Directors last day ...

I wonder if he was outbound or inbound.  If outbound I wonder if they will also pay for his lost flight and any other damages that arise out of him not making his trip?

Indeed, and the manic grins as I predicted.

 

To be 100% accurate, it looks like one of the Brand's massively overpriced chicken soup "give you special powers" hampers but you were close to allow a claim of "I nailed it".

It's not the chicken soup, its Bran Nok.  The swallow's vomit that "give you extra special powers".

 

Because of the media exposure for this incident a top shelf fruit basket was called for.

What!  - no drip in the arm!

 

With airport safety and security being so important, I would be interested in which airport is considered an "inactive post."

In my local Big C, that larks vomit stuff is under lock and key whereas any tom dick and harry can fondle the fruit and veg. Even the top shelf variety.

The other day I noticed that a couple of swallows are nesting up under the eaves of one of my rental units.  You are welcome and come and collect them.

The man's an idiot for accepting this pathetic gesture and helping AOT's publicity stunt. I would be photographed holding my middle finger up to this woman and explaining the legal action I'm going to take. 

They cannot keep the airport roof in place so what about the planes maintenance and security.

 

Flying local style, much like the Patt flying club then

Typical inane comment.

Why would you think an airport manager's job at one of AOT's airports is the only job available?

In typical Thai fashion it seems she is being transferred to Corporate with an inflated job title and possibly few duties. It seems no one actually gets sacked in Thailand.

 

"Ms Monrudee declined to comment about her transfer to the position of Senior Executive Vice President of Airport and Aviation Standards, effective today"

My wife was given a small collection of these Scotch products at New Year.

I tried one, it tasted like a beef oxo cube in water.

Interesting read but I still think the man's an idiot for accepting this medieval way of life, especially while so many of his countrymen are trying to progress.
