News for you Lady; Thailand's reputation was shot to pieces many Moons ago so you are wasting your breath!

 

Truth is Thai's abroad are law breakers because they believe than can 'do whatever they like' and get away with it the same as they would at home.   They are not used to living in a 'civilised society' where laws are respected and adhered to.

Quote

Crimes committed ranged from human trafficking and illegal employment, to brawls, gambling, illegal loans and drug trafficking and consumption.

If overstaying and working illegally leads to imprisonment (and counts) then 200 would not be a big number (caught).

But I doubt they would imprison them for long but expel and red stamp.

 

South Korea is the top spot for Thais working illegally.

Part of the females in the well know red light profession.

"Human trafficking" being the usual cover word.

They know very well what "massage" or the like in S.K. means.

Males in misc. jobs.
