Heightened Security Measures for Mobile Cabinet Meeting in Songkhla

On September 1, 2026, the first official mobile cabinet meeting of the year commenced at the 60th Anniversary of His Majesty the King’s Accession to the Throne International Convention Center, located at Prince of Songkla University, Hat Yai Campus, Songkhla Province. According to reports from Khaosod Online, security measures surrounding the event are exceptionally stringent.

Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) teams are conducting thorough inspections of every vehicle entering the convention center premises. Additionally, security personnel are screening all bags and personal belongings of attendees. Officials have mandated that all individuals entering the facility must display their official identification badges prominently. Police forces have been deployed along the primary routes leading to the venue to ensure the safety of the cabinet members' motorcades.

For residents and travelers in the Hat Yai area, these measures may result in localized traffic delays and increased police presence near the university campus. While these protocols are standard for high-level government gatherings, those planning to transit through the vicinity should anticipate potential disruptions. At this time, it remains to be confirmed how long these specific security checkpoints will remain in operation following the conclusion of the cabinet proceedings.
