Thai PM orders heightened vigilance after bomb scare in southern provinces
Pheu Thai supporters hold placards with portraits of Thailand's Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra as they gather at Pheu Thai Party Headquarter to support Paetongtarn, as she battles to stay in power after drawing sharp criticism of her handling of a border row with Cambodia, in Bangkok, Thailand, on Friday, June 27, 2025. -- REUTERS/Chalinee Thirasupa BANGKOK (Bernama): Thai Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra has placed all government agencies on high alert and urged heightened vigilance following recent bomb threats in the southern tourist provinces of Phuket and Phang Nga. She said reports from relevant agencies suggest that the incidents were attempts to create unrest in the region. The Prime Minister convened a meeting with the National Police Chief, the Commander of the Tourist Police, and the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Tourism and Sports to assess the situation and ensure close monitoring. "I have consistently urged all sectors to investigate and closely monitor the situation. Every precautionary measure has been implemented to ensure public safety and prevent harm. "However, the government remains vigilant. The National Security Council will continue to oversee and intensify operations," she posted on X on Friday. Earlier this week, Thai media reported that a car travelling from Songkhla to Phuket was stopped in Phang Nga, where police found a homemade time bomb and arrested two suspects. Suspicious devices were later found and neutralised in Phuket and Krabi, including near the airport. Though the devices caused no injuries and lacked destructive capability, they raised security concerns in the region. Police bomb squads confirmed that the objects were designed to resemble explosive devices, likely intended to instil fear and disrupt normal activities. Paetongtarn also assured the public that all agencies are committed to resolving the matter with the highest level of diligence. "I extend my gratitude to all officials for their dedication, sacrifice, and resilience in maintaining public confidence and enabling residents to live peacefully. "To tourists planning to visit, I assure you it is safe to travel and enjoy your visit without concern," she added. - Bernama
