A festival showcasing the rich culture of  the Thai people,  a reason why tourists flocked to experience not only the splashing of water in the streets but witness different activities during the festival such as  cultural performances, taste Thai foods and the pouring of Thai scented water to Buddha image and to elders.  For the Thai people, Songkran is a time to celebrate with families.

Considering the festival being, the present administration had already planned safety measures to ensure that the celebration be made successful. Proof to it, 4,200 police were assigned to 36 security check points at Nakhon Ratchasima highways. Since the government is eyeing for a higher income, and Songkran Festival helps a lot in the economic boom particularly in the Tourism Industry, this endeavor is being carefully plan. The administration is also thankful to the business sector because of their big participation that will make the event more enjoyable. Malls, restaurants, bars and even street food vendors are preparing for the 3-day celebration.

The Immigration Bureau that allocated 76 million baht on the system recognized as Autochannel for inaugural operation by Thai passport holders expresses opinion of contentment’s in what manner it was helping passenger coming and going at the jam-pack airport, particularly in concerns of the coming Songkran holidays  and more to come.

Pol Col Viboon Kittiisaengsuwan, the one supervises departure immigration at Suvarnabhumi, said “It operates excellently and we acknowledged more of appreciations and approvals from passengers who notifies us we should have had this system in place long before,”

A staff member demonstrates how to operate the passport scanner in the first phase.

Anirut Thanomkulbutra, president of Airports of Thailand Plc (AoT), mention travelers have still to become more completely familiarize with the recent system but the amount utilizing it will have the knowledge immediately. That operation will accelerated by the assistant of attendants placed and waiting 24/7 at every of the 16 Autochannel units, assigned evenly at the departure and arrival halls, throughout the succeeding weeks, said Pol Col Viboon.

Chan Wanich provides the attendees’, the Thai company that furnished Autochannel to the bureau. Autochannel finished its two-phase task, first reading the passport and then scanning a finger and taking a photo, in just a total of 15 seconds, fraction of the time, it takes to finished manually by an officer. Autochannel should let the bureau to hand out its specific human resources to international passengers, who involves about 80% of the 160,000 travellers departing through the airport every single day.

Suvarnabhumi has been functioning in excessiveness of its planned capacity of 45 million travelers every year. Passenger last year was 47.2 million and the amount of numbers anticipated moving up to 51 million this year alone. Announced by Pol Col Viboon, plans are moving to set forth Autochannel at Suvarnabhumi to apply foreign passport holders, specifically expatriates and common business guests of our country, in the succeeding several years.

“It’s a bit by bit procedure,” he mentioned, explicating that the bureau has so far to examine and find out about the outcome of primary procedure and process regarding Thai passport holders.

“There are more complicated consequences concerned to the validity or credibility of visas and people are might be on the blacklists of Interpol or other global organizations, which signifies the establishing of Autochannel for foreign nationals will demand more time and thinking.”

During the 15^th world Conference on Tobacco and Health held in Singapore last March 23, 2012, Boonterm Tansurat, Phitsanulok’s Public Health Officer stated that community of the said province are actively participating to the said cause. Everybody knows the effect of smoking to human. The agony is that an even person who does not smoke still be affected and is likely to the first to have deficiency like the second smoker or the one who does not smoke but unfortunately smelled the smoke are more prone to lung cancer than the one who really smokes.  Smoking is not good for skin especially to aging women.

In Phitsanulok alone, in a survey conducted last 2009, 28% out of 200,000 population of young people are already smoking. In addition, more or less 22.57% of teenagers in entire Thailand smoke although the Tobacco Control Act already adopted in 1992 particularly in school campus, business communities. Seeing the situation, the government is working to make Thailand smoke-free country. Dr. Boonterm believes that the said campaign needed since more people suffer illnesses because of smoking cigarettes.

Boonterm Tansurat, Phitsanulok’s public health chief, said health authorities are working with the volunteer sector, retailers and local authorities to campaign against smoking and make the province tobacco-free. Recently, a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) signed by and between retailers of cigarettes and liquors. Dr. Boonterm also said that it will not be easily absorbed by the people especially to smokers but he further believes that thru  information dissemination like the conduct of forums, symposiums to schools and the giving of hand-outs, these will help instilled to the mind of the people and let them understand the disadvantages of smoking. He said that it takes a number of months to make the campaign successful but as the days go by, more will understand the cause. He is hopeful that Phitsanulok will be the first province of Thailand to be smoke-free.  Dr. Boonterm’s idea is also the same in Sukothai, his workplace before.

In addition, the Secretary-General of Association of Southeast Asean Nation (ASEAN), Surin Pitsuwan of Thailand is urging the member nation to implement smoke-free laws. In Davao City of the Philippines, smoking is prohibited in ALL places including buses and other transport. Anyone caught doing so will put into prison and pay fines.

Health authorities, officials, cigarette and liquor retailers, anti-smoking, and drinking networks have signed a memorandum of understanding on strengthening cooperation to make Phitsanulok a smoke-free province of Thailand. According to survey, Thailand has up to 600 people are thought to take up smoking every day, most of them teenagers. This is the reason why the government is finding ways and means to solve this problem.  The fact that this country is a hub for tourists, implementing this act is not easy but with the political will and support of the local and national officials, it could be possible.

Optimistically, this endeavor initiated by the people of Phitsanulok will enable Thailand reached its goal to be a smoke-free country.

With the growing number of tourists here in Thailand, Transport Minister Jarupong Ruwangsuwan said that reopening the old airport for now is the best solution to avoid hassles since the renovation of Suvarnabhumi will take five years. Many factors needed to consider before doing the said plan. Statistically, Suvarnabhumi Airport can serve 51 Million passengers, up from its actual capacity of 45 Million.

However, Airlines executive aired their side particularly in the investment friendly policy between the government and the airlines. By doing so, low-cost fare will be enjoyed by the clients and for them, Don Mueng is better than Suvarnabhumi for many reasons. Other concerns arose with the reopening and one of them is the transfer of residents of the personnel of the airport and the airlines. Most of these staff lives approximately Suvarnabhumi. In addition, late last year, during the flood, Don Mueng affected with the said calamity making the said disaster the main concern of the Airlines who will be using the said airport. Air executives want a clear agenda in the occurrence of flood since the area is prone to the said calamity. According to them, investing money must give priority in the airport business by laying the agenda of the government concerning the said project.

With the birth of the said undertaking, country’s economy will increase while quality service will improved, giving satisfaction to its valued clients.

Importantly, the reopening of Don Mueng will be the answer to the high cost budget flight. Laws are to be set during operation and experiencing long lines be avoided if not erased. The government has meetings with the different airlines lading in Suvarnabhumi to hear their sides and find ways that will mean to improve the basic services. It is being revealed that the old airport help reduce passenger loads to 17 to 18 million a year.

The government of Thailand in their desire to help the passengers find convenient waiting place, the reopening is the only way if the not the best way.
