Popular Post webfact Posted November 29, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted November 29, 2019 Immigration chief - top brass - turn out after Chinese beggar taken off the street Picture: Naew Na Thailand's immigration chief and many of his top men turned out at a press conference to announce the arrest of a group of Chinese men who came to Thailand to beg. At immigration HQ was Lt-Gen Sompong "Big Oud" Chingduang, Maj-Gen Nathaphon, Maj-Gen Pornchai, Pol Col Sathit, Pol Col Kritmongkhon and many more in the actual arrest teams. There were also a lot of vinyl boards to show how the immigration men had cleaned up Thailand in this case and others. Naew Na said that the gang of Chinese were pretending to be mute, deaf and have cancer. And that they were preying on tourists. Picture: Naew Na However, the only person who was actually taken off the streets was a 61 year old man in Prakhanong, Sukhumvit - not a tourist area at all. Tan was easy to spot when immigration arrived. He had a sign (seemingly written in Thai) that said: "Please help. My wife has leukemia and is in hospital. I need lots of money for her treatment. Please can you all help out". When officers questioned him he played dumb - he started 'signing' and indicating he was a deaf mute. A Chinese language interpreter was called and it was soon ascertained that Tan had none of the handicaps he was claiming and his wife was fine. The arrest led the immigration police to a hotel room near Hualampong railway station where they found three men drinking beer. There were a lot of playing cards and a copious amount of cigarette butts. The men admitted playing up their begging money by gambling at cards getting an average of 2,500 baht a day. They were all from the Hubei area of China and would travel to places like Thailand, Malaysia and Vietnam to beg. They were all charged with begging and were prepared for deportation.

scoutman360 Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 I told my landlord about the Cambodia/Lao beggars parked right in front of our building everyday and he just looked at me in disbelief. I said, "No foreigner will want to rent your condos with such filth right outside on the road." He has 3 condos still empty. But praise Thai Immigration for the good job against those evil Chinese.

Toadie Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 It is very much like a Thai school. Don't actually do anything. Play some music, someone make a speech, run around with posters, hand out awards. Can we get a Mexican wave going? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
