Pol Gen Kitrat Phanphet, commissioner-general of the Royal Thai Police, presided
over a meeting on drone security, according to Pol Lt Gen Yingyos Thepjamnong, assistant
commissioner-general and police spokesperson. Heightened monitoring is now in place
around both Suvarnabhumi and Don Mueang airports.

Authorities are implementing a three-part strategy covering prevention, investigation,
and security, including strict enforcement of No-Fly Zone regulations around critical
areas.

Police units are operating under an “Observe–Screen–Report” model, using object-
screening applications and immediately relaying information to the Metropolitan 
Police Drone Center, which coordinates rapid-response teams to intercept suspicious
devices. Data from the National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission and
flight authorization records from the Civil Aviation Authority of Thailand are also
being used to classify and verify drone activity.
