Airport officials said the incident occurred last week when a crowd of fans followed the Chinese celebrity to board Thai Airways flight TG674 from Bangkok to Beijing, Bangkok Post reported on Tuesday.
Authorities did not disclose the celebrity's identity.
The fans followed the celebrity into the boarding gate holding area, where they ignored instructions to present their boarding passes and rushed to get closer to the star while he walked along the aerobridge to the aircraft.

To prevent them from boarding without proper checks, airline staff closed the aircraft door. Security personnel and airline employees then escorted the group back to the departure gate holding area after they gathered at the entrance to the plane.
