The usual predictable nonsense. Chinese get busted all the time. So do Thais--and for gambling as well.

First they bust a bunch of Indians and Nepalese. Now it's a bunch of Chinese.

I wonder if they get thrown in the same cells........

(It's not like China and India are having a confrontation right now over a long running border dispute or anything.)

Thailand keeps this up and they are going to upset the same 2 countries they think are the future of their tourism industry (and other things) !

Time to stop doing these silly arrests.  Surely,  the police could find something better to do with their time.

I can understand busting any gambling den run for profit by a host. But a card game among friends for small pots should be tolerated, like a different kind of  pot for personal use.

How dare the 34 year old Chinese guy overstay his visa. He should have flown home. They aren't tell us its 538,490 days overstay or whatever, so it's probably a visa that expired during the covid-19 period. It must be hard to find any real news at the moment.

They've had lots of free time as there aren't many tourists to fleece at the moment.
