Undercover weaponized viral agent. 

Traveling from a country with decreasing cases to a country with increasing cases. Not so smart. Bring them to a 2 weeks isolation in a prison cell.

Looking for a politician to supply face masks to take back and sell!

yeah! - send them to exactly into the crammed crowds 

they were trying to evade 

Border is as watertight as a sieve.  Twice in the last two years i have driven over the Border in the Fang area without realising it and twice been stopped by Local Cops when they see Thai Number Plates.  They just told me to go back the way i came.

Creeping in? must be mentally ill surely ????

I just said the same to my wife not 5 seconds before I read your post!

They can sneak all they want but they can't escape the smart BMW......

The Chinese seem to know rather well their government's numbers may be......debatable?

Who says China has decreasing cases. Do you seriously believe that?

Well, believing official statements and stated numbers from a government that has been trying to cover up all, is rather too trusting.

They were Chinese undercover, secret agents. Their mission: find out how Thailand has kept out the virus.

Up against the wall...pop!

The immigration checkpoint in Mae Sot at the bridge over the Moei River sees a trickle of trade for those with nothing to hide.

 

Majority of the action takes place about 200 metres upstream where smuggled goods and humans get unloaded along the river bank from a fleet of little boats.....and it all takes place under the distant scrutiny of authorities who take a slice of the profits.  Or at least that's how things operated a decade ago.

 

These Chinese chaps attempted a DIY border crossing, which is a sure way to land you in strife with corrupt officials.

Only to find out that this Government is as honest as their own.

Obviously trying to stay out of China.

Met a Chinese guy a few years ago near Chiang Mai who's business was moving cars over the border in Mae Sot. Seemed to have a very efficient operation shifting cars stolen from Thailand to Burma and bringing in high end cars from Burma to Thailand. Offered me a Mini for THB150k - plates not genuine but set up to be able to pay tax and get compulsory insurance.

 

I had a car, so didn't take him up on his generous offer. But that border is not tight in any way.
