webfact Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Foreigners arrested - because Thais said they smelled bad Picture: Sanook Thais on a tour bus in the south complained to the police at a checkpoint that around ten passengers were annoying them because they were stinking the bus out. They suspected that they were foreigners. Chumpon immigration found that 13 of the passengers - intermingled among the rest of the passengers travelling on the Bangkok to Chian Yai service via Thung Song - were illegal Myanmar workers with no papers. Sanook said the checkpoint was set up in the night between KM markers 451 - 452 on Petchkasem Road in Tha Se district. Earlier on Saturday the bus had set off from the Southern Bus terminal. Both drivers had been contacted by a man they called "O" who asked them to pick up the workers in Samut Sakhon and take them to Surat Thani. The drivers - employees of ST Sri Suthep Tour - were arrested after they admitted being paid 1,200 baht for transporting the illegal workers on the air-con bus. Sanook said that the arrest of the Myanmar nationals was as a direct result of their body odor.

I expected them to be a group of Indians. Once in the skytrain there were 10 Indians stinking really really bad...All passengers had to cover their mouths and moved away from them...it really was terrible...The Thai even made contact with eachother about it, something i have never seen anywhere else. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disgust anyone who told the cops/immigration here. Sickening is the key word here. Obviously, you have never been obliged to sit next to some one who stinks to high heaven - simply because he/she hasn't kept themselves clean. It is a foul, vomit inducing stench. To have multiple people smelling the same would be horrendous! I don't care if they're feeding family and kids - what's that got to do with hygeine? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Im not telling the police or immigration. Thats what the feeding family and kids part has to do with this whole thing. I deal with the situation myself. Complain to the bus company and/or bus driver if you must, insist on a solution. Edited February 13, 2019 by DeeMak9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So are we to take it that you are an expert on what causes bad smells. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
