Crackdown on taking selfies on the runway at Phuket International Airport:

Harsh penalties for taking selfies on Mai Khao Beach warning
BANGKOK, Dec. 17 (Xinhua) — Those take selfie with landing planes on the runway along the beach near Phuket International Airport in south Thailand will face heavy punishment including death penalty, Thai local media reported on Friday.

According to Phuket News, Phuket International Airport (PIA) has put in place a safety zone and warning system at the end of the runway along Mai Khao Beach to protect a growing number of beachgoers who visit that area to take photographs and videos of landing aircraft.

Thairath newspaper said that people need to stay away from the restricted zone for safety reason, adding that any one who fails to observe the regulation will face a jail term of between five to 20 years, a life sentence or even the death penalty according to the Air Aviation Act 1978...

Surely the death penalty would only come into play if you were taking a selfie whilst hit by a landing aircraft.
