Chinese Tourist Blacklisted After Destroying Electronic Gate and Violent Outburst at Suvarnabhumi Airport

[Coss]

Thai immigration authorities have revoked the visa of a Chinese national and placed him on a permanent blacklist after a violent incident at Suvarnabhumi Airport’s outbound immigration checkpoint involving breaking and forcing through an electronic exit gate and an altercation with Thai Immigration officers.

The incident occurred on May 13th at approximately 2:00 p.m., when Mr. Zheng, 30, attempted to pass through the Automated Border Control (ABC) system before boarding flight 9C7282 to China. Instead of following the proper procedure, he placed his boarding pass on the passport reader, causing the system to malfunction. Frustrated, he kicked the glass door of the machine, damaging it. When he tried again with his passport incorrectly placed, the system failed once more, prompting him to kick the door a second time and force his way through without clearance.

Immigration officers quickly intervened, but Mr. Zheng responded with profanity in both Chinese and English, and allegedly attempted to assault the officers before being restrained by his wife. He was then handed over to police at Suvarnabhumi Airport station....    LINK
