What you expect,  rolled out the red carpet for them, no requirement to verify their income at their Embassy to obtain a letter etc etc. an open invitation to the Triads.

Maybe the police in Nongprue are worried they are moving in on their territory in which there are a number of gambling places run by them. ????
