Thai media 77khaoded reported that 14 Thais were arrested on Tuesday sneaking across the Cambodian border at a natural point of entry.

 

They are all workers at a casino in Poi Pet and wanted to avoid having to do 14 day state quarantine. 

 

The workers said they had been in Cambodia for 2 months and wanted to go home and visit relatives.

The provincial Sa Kaeo court bailed them all for 40,000 baht each after they were charged under the Covid-19 regulations. 

 

Sources suggested they are all connected to an influential gambling figure called "Sia Po" who allegedly tried to get the authorities to turn a blind eye to allowing the workers not to quarantine. This request was rejected.

 

The workers have now agreed to go into quarantine.

There are plans to build a wall there but they're still trying to figure out how to get Mexico to pay for it.
