Last time I was in the EU you just drove through most of the borders. Things may have changed since then I admit.

nothing changed, you can drive through 5 countries in a day and nobody checks your documents

 

nobody accuses you for working in some of the richest countries in the world without reason... but apparently westerners are lining up for those sweet 400 THB day jobs in Thailand

Do you not get the feeling, that the police / immigration etc., are publicising all and sundry, so as to show that Thailand has a major problem with many "aliens." Thus this warrents all the ridiculous "security measures," needing to be implemented. A bit like job justification, whether it be man power or equipment.

A classic 'problem. reaction, solution'.

 

Create an imaginary problem. Show how outraged everyone is (but very happy) when 40k are nabbed. This justifies the original plan and calls for more measures, and more money being put into the solution.
