Meaning of a word in Thai

In my last trip to Thailand I couldn't ignore the message that ran again and again at Bangkok airport PA system. It said something like "PROSSA" And then the rest of the message.

Does any Thai speaker can tell me the meaning of that word?

Hey Skooby!
I'm not a thai speaker, but I think i've found the answer to your question:
Although it sounds like "prossa" ,according to thai-language.com it's "bprout saap", and the meaning is similar to "Attention". makes sense, especially at the Airport.
Chok Dee Khrap !

Sounds like "Protsaab"Smile

In Thai that means "Your attention (please)"
