Well this is a site that I have never seen before in Thailand. A boat load of fishermen all wearing life vests and masks...

Another staged propaganda photo op and just looking at it looks well staged. Is it that time if year again?

What a load of boll+++s, all wearing life jackets, no illegal workers found, HA.

Somebody gave the boat owners a tip off that a raid was going to take place, so all incriminating evidence was well hidden.

Blind police are everywhere these days. I never realised it was a requirement in order to join.

And the question being asked: "if you're happy with your employment hold up your hand.. if not happy we can send you home" !

There is no prostitution in Thailand, so money is not wasted on looking for it. So, no raids

So, why hold raids? Waste of money to look for something that does not exist.
