The baggage handlers immediately radioed for bomb disposal experts who rushed to the runway.

A baggage handler recounted what happened:
"We noticed the bag was shaking and there was a buzzing noise coming from inside.
"Obviously we were pretty scared because this could have been a bomb or some other explosive device.
"But when the experts arrived they opened up the package and it was just a sex toy.
"The passenger is unaware that their bag caused a security alert.
"I think they would be deeply embarrassed if they found out."
The flight was delayed by just five minutes.
A Thai AirAsia spokesman said that the airline did not confiscate the item as it did not threaten aviation security.
