Thailand‘s Foreign Affairs Ministry urged the Chinese ambassador to help promote mutual understanding between the two countries, following the chaos at Suvarnabhumi International Airport involving a group of Chinese fans and airport security last week. A group of Chinese fans booked seats on the same flight as two Chinese celebrities and followed them to the departure lounge. Following that incident, the Chinese Embassy in Bangkok requested clarification from Thai authorities, accusing the Thai guard of using excessive force against the Chinese national. The embassy’s statement drew criticism from some Thai social media users, who argued the woman had also contributed to the confrontation. Meanwhile, some Thai social media users posted comments on the embassy’s Facebook page calling for a response.
