A turbulent incident unfolded at Chiang Mai International Airport in northern Thailand, as a frustrated tourist and his two companions found themselves embroiled in a heated dispute with the airline crew over a lost bag. The passenger was distraught, claiming that his valuables had been carelessly left behind in the airport's departure lounge.
The situation quickly escalated as the agitated man engaged in a tense exchange with the airline crew, who were trying to coax him into his seat. In a bid to contain the situation, one crew member even attempted to guide him back to his place by gripping his arm firmly.
A video of the incident captured the unfolding drama, showing the crew member telling the passenger that if he couldn't calm down, they would have no choice but to remove him from the flight. The passenger defiantly responded, demanding to leave the plane immediately and insisting that the matter be brought to the attention of the captain.
The tense standoff took place while the Airbus A320 was already positioned next to the runway, just moments away from takeoff. Sensing the escalating situation, the pilot made the difficult decision to turn the aircraft back to the gate, announcing to the other passengers that the flight would be delayed.

An irritated fellow passenger recorded the unfolding scene, as airport security personnel marched onto the flight to address the situation. The disruptive trio was subsequently escorted off the aircraft, but it remains unclear if they faced any legal consequences within the terminal premises.
Speaking on the incident, an anonymous passenger on the flight shared their perspective, expressing their annoyance at the disruption caused by the irate passenger and his friends. The delay, which lasted around 45 minutes, inconvenienced many other travelers on board, and they voiced their discontent over the trio's apparent disregard for others' schedules.
Eventually, after resolving the situation and ensuring the safety of all passengers, flight THD103 operated by Thai Smile, took off for its intended destination – Suvarnabhumi International Airport in Bangkok.
While air travel can already be fraught with stress, incidents like these serve as a reminder of the importance of composure and understanding during unforeseen circumstances, both for passengers and airline crew. Hopefully, such incidents can be handled more smoothly in the future to ensure a safer and more enjoyable flying experience for everyone involved.
