Transport hubs brace for New Year travel surge

Airports of Thailand (AOT) expects Suvarnabhumi Airport to handle over 200,000 passengers per day during the festive period.

To ensure smooth operations, AOT has increased staff deployment at key service points, including assistance with self-check-in kiosks and automated baggage drop. 

Passengers are also encouraged to register for biometric facial recognition for faster processing. Security measures have been intensified, with increased patrols and emphasis on passenger service.

The State Railway of Thailand (SRT) anticipates peak outbound travel today, with approximately 100,000 passengers nationwide and around 10,000 departing from Krung Thep Aphiwat Central Terminal. 

SRT has increased train services by four, adding routes to the northeastern provinces including Ubon Ratchathani and Udon Thani.
