Burma Bill

What a laugh, Thai scammers working in Cambodia - rates of pay better!

Deployed to the border with Cambodia?

an operational launch aimed for 2029. Add another 10 years would be more realistic IMO.

Not just Phnom Penh (list from todays Khmer Times 17 July 2025:- On July 16, 2025, the Banteay Meanchey Provincial Unified Command collaborated with relevant authorities and authorities to conduct an operation to suppress a hidden location in Poipet for online scams. 271 Indonesians arrested.

For reference (Google) In Thailand, Lipton tea products are owned and distributed through a joint venture between Unilever and PepsiCo called Pepsi Lipton. They manufacture and sell Lipton branded ready-to-drink beverages, including Lipton Ice Tea. Additionally, Suntory Beverage & Food Limited (SBF) and PepsiCo Inc. have a joint venture in Thailand, called Suntory PepsiCo Beverage (Thailand) Company Limited (SPBT), which also distributes Lipton products.

Why not re-introduce the 300 baht EXIT fee as we used to have pay many years ago - 30 years in my case!

Indian curry restaurants every where! Thai cabaret shows changing to Bollywood entertainment! Tailors shops in abundance with Indian men pestering you to buy a suit - will make a change from the pestering Thai prostitutes and ladyboys! Great - bring it on!

I totally agree. They should be arrested and immediately deported back to Burma, just like the innocent Burmese civilians trying to escape the atrocities committed by the Tatmadaw!

These seem to be the qualifications to visit Pattaya these days! TAT take note.

According to another media report I read the other day, two Japanese tourists were arrested (not that it really matters!) BANGKOK — Two Japanese tourists were arrested after being caught spray-painting the locomotive and passenger cars on the Bangkok-Sungai Kolok route near a railway overpass on Kanjanapisek Road in Taling Chan district, Bangkok.... https://www.khaosodenglish.com/news/2025/07/15/japanese-tourists-caught-red-handed-spray-painting-train-in-bangkok/

Certainly my experience as a Thai Tourist Police Volunteer based in Chiang Rai. We had to attend weapons (hand gun) training but after explaining that UK Forensic Scientists do not carry weapons, I was allowed just to watch - a boring experience!

Yes indeed - slave labour! reference Google - The biggest problem is that the 3,800 baht registration fee is extremely high for Burmese migrants who typically make anywhere from 50 to 280 baht per day,137 depending on the province and sector of work.

I am not surprised since the killing of a Cambodian soldier by the aggressive Thai Military!

So, it took many drinks and a long time before the red flags started waving?

I sincerely hope the man and his family from Mansfield in the UK has read this book!
