A report in the Bangkok Post for 25 January 2008 reported a illegal Burmese immigrant was discovered sitting in the cabin of a Turkish Airlines Airbus(A330 or A340) when an engineer was checking the jet on stand 508 prior to it departing back to IST.
This incident reportedly happened on 24 January.
Usually the Turkish Airlines flight arrives at BKK mid-afternoon and after unloading the airpland is re-positioned to a remote stand until it's departure around midnight.
The Airports of Thailand(AOT) have promised to review security(as they would).
It was alleged the intruder entered the airport over a fence west of runway 01L,then crossed the runway and taxyways undetected and entered the Turkish Airbus via a ladder.
The report went on to state the intruder had escaped from prison in Malaysia and entered Thailand illegally.
