Hua Hin station evacuated as suspicious packages found

Police and soldiers evacuated Hua Hin railway station yesterday morning after two bags were found left on a bench in front of the ticket office.

One was a red and black bag and the other a backpack. It was feared they might be bombs.

CCTV was checked and they were found to belong to a man with a beard and moustache who had left the station earlier.

A search party was formed and the man was found standing in front of a  convenience store some 200 meters away from the station.

Named as Ukrit Ratsuk, 32, from Surat he told the cops that he was due to return home on the midday train but seeing as he had a long time to
wait he went in search of something to eat.

He was asked to open the bags that just contained his clothes and other possessions.
