Suvarnabhumi Airport now requires all government officials working there to wear their uniforms, to make it easier to identify who they are and which orgnisation they work for.
The requirement follows an incident in which two traffic policemen and one tourist police officer were caught on video at the airport providing a Chinese tourist with an immigration clearance shortcut and then a traffic-dodging police escort to her hotel in Pattaya, said Kittipong Kittikachorn, the airport general manager.
