Suvarnabhumi Airport will find out if it can prohibit passengers or film crews filming in the airport without permission following the dissemination of a pornographic video clip in which the airport was used as a location.

Suvarnabhumi airport director Somchai Sawasdipol said the clip had hurt the image of the airport. He would study regulations to find out if filming can be prohibited.

"Suvarnabhumi airport is an open area and photography and filming are not prohibited, unlike some other airports. So it is difficult to control it," Mr Somchai said.

What a non story, and I guess all those porn movies with a opening clips of Bangkok or Vegas sully their image.

realist: Transport Minister Sukumpol Suwanatat said yesterday that controlling the practice was difficult because the passenger terminal was a public place.
"The pictures recorded at the airport do not contain improper content. Take it lightly.

Out of touch with reality: Miss Jaemsri Sukchoterat, flight attendant and president of the labour union of Thai Airways International, urged the government to block the online presence of the pornographic film and take legal action against all wrongdoers to protect the image of Thai women and flight attendants.
