Two police K9 dogs have begun duties inspecting baggage from Thai Airways passengers traveling from Suvarnabhumi Airport to Melbourne, Australia, with no contraband found.
At 6:30 a.m. on July 7, 2569, Lt. Gen. Siam Bunsomwong, Police Deputy Commissioner, ordered the K9 Dog Unit led by Col. Sukrit Mangkalachawat, Maj. Aphivat Chulwongse, Maj. Phaspong Khloyyarun, Capt. Praphasorn Krudsap, and Pol. Capt. Yutthana Chachumwong to deploy two K9 dogs with Suvarnabhumi Airport staff to screen for narcotics.
