Immigration chief Lt-Gen Sompong "Big Oud" Chingduang was on hand with a bunch of vinyl signs yesterday to announce the latest arrests of illegal foreigners including a US woman teaching without a work permit.

 

Apart from the five cases he also had time to report on some Cambodian monks who had been illegally collecting alms in the north east. 

 

The chief urged the public to keep calling the 1178 report line - it's open 24 hours, he said.

 

Here are the five cases presented at Suan Phlu HQ yesterday. 

 

1. Yang, 44, from South Korea was arrested in a condo in Mae Sot, Tak, in Thailand's north west. He was on overstay of 322 days.

 

2. Noh, 39, from South Korea was arrested in the car park of Tak immigration. He had been found to have left Thailand on November 8th but come back without a stamp in his passport.

 

3. Beng, 40, also from South Korea, was found to be in possession of a fake passport in Mae Sot. He had stuck his picture in someone else's. 

 

4. Sai Yee, 55, from Myanmar, was caught with a fake passport at the northern border checkpoint of Mae Sai.

 

5. A 47 year old US woman called Patricia was arrested near a language institute in Saraphee, Chiang Mai and booked for teaching without a work permit. (This story was earlier reported in detail by Thaivisa).

 

The chief also said that two Cambodian nationals had been arrested in monk's clothing in Petchabun. The monks had sneaked over via a natural land border in Aranyaprathet and had no passports. 

 

They had then gone on an alms gathering tour to Petchabun via Nakhon Ratchasima staying in temples along the way.

No pointing , point of the year went to the lady pointing to a wall that was no longer there as removed by a drunk foreigner .

first time I have seen or heard of anyone getting busted in Mae Sot for anything like this. They tend to leave the farang alone as they assume most are NGO workers. Never seen or heard of anyone even being approached by an immigration officer or police officer anywhere in this city and I have spoken to people who have lived here 25+ years. 

 

They tend to chase and search the Burmese migrants far more than the white folk here

So no kudos for the expensive biometrics system???

Yeah! There is nothing like a little Christmas spirit from Immigration.

I’m going to call and report all of my annoying neighbors. Not sure if they are doing anything wrong or not but it will 1) give immigration a boner thinking they will get someone, 2) irritate my neighbors who are real tossers.

Must we have announcements, press releases and news articles for every petty criminal these buffoons catch?

 

Tedious in the extreme now.

Certainly sounds like he's fitting in well in modern day Thailand if that sentence in the article is anything to go by. 

Feel the love yet? Big brothers watching you. Very Orwellian, the Stazie would be so proud. Yet some on here sing their praises every time they nake an arrest even for one day overstay. Feel the love. 

Getting a little stale isn’t it?  Give us some gunfighters or chases.  Hundreds pass in and out of the country illegally every day, and immigration knows about it-they are like collection points 

Teaching without a work permit..?!?..force her to teach without salary. ! Who does she think she is ?!

We can’t have unauthorized teachers and freelancers here. Such a thing is a slippery slope that leads to prostitution, human trafficking, drugs, corruption, and other criminal activity. I’m doing my part to keep those

vile things out of Thai culture.

 

As soon as I finish tracking your IP, you’re next.

Yes. I’m tracking your IP for reporting now. I hope your papers are in order.

Let’s turn Thailand into East Germany 

South Koreans are lucky enough to be given 3 months visa-free stay and they still overstay....?

 

Thailand should have given them only one month visa-free instead like what Thailand gives to most countries in the world.

Might want to go a bit easy on the South Koreans, thousands of Thais are illegally staying and working in S.Korea, now being offered amnesty, that could easily change and they all get automatic deportations back here.

With no work that might not go down too well!

 

2. Noh, 39, from South Korea was arrested in the car park of Tak immigration. He had been found to have left Thailand on November 8th but come back without a stamp in his passport.

 

Arrested in the parking lot of the immigration Tak office where she went to ask for a stamp because he realized that he had not received it on the passport at the airport

Meanwhile if  Korea did the same theyd  probably have to send back  half  of  Thailand
