Songkhla stores, hotels increase security measures
Many department stores, hotels and high rise buildings in Songkhla province have intensified their security measures in the wake of the deadly bomb attack at the Lee Gardens Plaza Hotel on March 31.
Some buildings have banned entry to vehicles fitted with LPG and NPG fuels after last weekend's bomb attacks in which three were killed and hundreds others of injured when cars exploded in the parking lot of the hotel.
Meanwhile Suthinart $$$$$najan, manager of Central Department Store's Hat Yai branch, said the store re-opened on Monday after closing shortly after the attack.
Her company has lost more than Bt10 million from the two-day closure, as it happened over the weekend and at a period when the store had schedule its midnight sales, which usually generated high income, she said.
Since the re-opening, the department store has increased the number of security staff to provide greater safety for customers.
"They are ordered to search the bags and jackets of every customer wishing to enter our buildings. If a customer refuses to be checked, he or she will not be allowed to enter," she said.
