Crowded Don Mueang Airport has a safety problem 

Crowded Don Mueang Airport has a safety problem 

Don Mueang Airport Authority, Thai Immigration and AirAsia are a thorough disgrace! Flying out of Don Mueang on Sunday 3pm it took 45 minutes to get through AirAsia bag drop (I had already checked in online) followed by one hour and 45 minutes to get through passport control.

The hall was crowded, with several very long queues snaking out into the public concourse. It was impossible to work out where the lines began and ended. 
I saw three different puddles of urine on the floor where people had no choice but to go, as you would never catch your flight if you left the impenetrable crowd. The floors had become sticky with urine being walked throughout. People were surging and ducking under ropes to queue-jump as they panicked about their flights boarding. 
The problem here is not merely one of “service” but also of the security and safety risks of so many people being jammed into that airport area.
