So they will collect a little fee to allow it to continue, is that how it will work?

Many of the stories here on TV.com of which many are from syndicated news sources in Thailand and elsewhere, Shout ,Scream and Bellow one thing.

Get those Chinese tourists back, get them back now!!!

All the anticipation all the hype, the botched first attempt, the arrival of Super BJ and the 5 day deadline. 

After all this, is there no video or photo story?

All the bargains I get these days are through online shopping, except in Thailand where the tax ruins the deal.

Great, what happens next?

Soon Thailand will be empty just a few farmers and generals left behind, all the other crooks long since bolted across the borders.

When soldiers are involved in raids, a cynic might think the boys in green are making the moves on the boys in browns turf.

All these numbers are a damning indictment of the ineffectiveness of the immigration department. As Head (or acting head) shouldn't BJ be looking within to fix the problem?

This is it, myself and others have asked this before.

With the total lack of critical thinking this question is not addressed by the authorities, of course there is the issue of face as well.

The rotund condition of some RTP members would have well intentioned tourists trying to have them swim back out to sea. 

How does this help anything?

Seems Prayuths marketing team is starting to crank up his image....I just can't see the current mob actually giving a rats about the Rohingya issue.

No, their main concern is getting Chinese tourists back.

It's not clear to me if the officers that received the transfers were caught at the den or were carrying out the raid?

As far as Myanma is concerned the Rohingya have been repatriated, and according to language, religion, and genetics, they would be correct. Bangladesh is where they are from. They have never been recognized as citizens of Burma/Myanmar. Just semi-tolerated illegal migrants. 

Not PC, but true.

Whether what you state is correct or other wise their treatment by the Myanmar authorities is inhumane and criminal it is also representative of the lack of will and ability of the UN to assist those in crisis.
