Digital Economy Minister Inspects Tourist Police Mobile Operations in Songkhla
The Minister of Digital Economy and Society joined the Prime Minister’s delegation to observe the CCOC Mobile unit’s performance in Songkhla’s Old Town.
On September 1, 2026, the Thailand Government Public Relations Department reported that the Minister of Digital Economy and Society accompanied the Prime Minister on a visit to the historic Old Town district of Songkhla. The primary objective of this visit was to engage with local residents and evaluate the operational efficiency of the Tourist Police’s 'CCOC Mobile' (Command and Control Operations Center) unit.
For travelers and residents in the region, this inspection highlights the government's ongoing focus on integrating digital infrastructure with public safety and tourism management. The CCOC Mobile units are designed to provide real-time coordination and rapid response capabilities, which are intended to enhance the security and support services available to visitors in popular tourist areas.
While the visit underscores the government's commitment to modernizing tourist safety protocols, specific details regarding the expansion of these mobile units or any new policy changes resulting from this inspection remain to be confirmed. Observers should note that this event was a site visit to assess current performance rather than an announcement of new regulations. Further updates regarding the long-term deployment of these digital command centers in other provinces have not yet been provided by official sources.
