Five Thais and a Chinese caught trying to enter from Myanmar

By THE NATION

 

 

Six people were caught crossing the river from Myanmar to enter Thailand at Ban Huay Muang village in Tak province around 1am on Saturday.

 

Patrolling officers of 4th Infantry Battalion in Tha Sai Luad subdistrict of Mae Sot district reported that the suspects were on a rowing boat and crossed Moei River. They comprised five Thais -- four males and a female -- and a Chinese man. "All of them confessed that they were employees of a casino in Myanmar,” said one of the officers.

 

 

 

“As the Covid-19 situation in Myanmar is escalating, more people are trying to slip through to Thailand across the river, as all land border checkpoints have been shut to prevent the virus from spreading. Only transportation of products is allowed.”

 

The suspects were sent to Mae Sot Police Station and were charged with entering the country via an illegal channel and violating the regulations of Tak’s Disease Control Commission.

So if Thai speaking employees are needed how many Thais are jumping the border to go to the casinos?

So, if your standing on the Thai side and shouting "ua disan" vola a smiling Burmese in a boat appears!

Sounds to me that they either must be crossing back and forth daily for work or at least weekly, and then you wonder what kind of a Visa the Chinese man has for here in Thailand, as he will obviously be deported.  Porous borders are wide and long and I am very sure they are not the only ones.  Looks to me like the need for a border wall like the US has with Mexico is needed.  Yes sarcasm.

Why aren't people around them wearing astronaut gear as on suwanapumi? And what about 2 weeks quarantene? 

Must have been the bad Chinese influence leading the Thai's across the border .........LOL

I suppose anyone but the Thais will pay for it.

Like building a wall across the Sahara - make the Saharans pay for it.

this is going on, on a much larger scale than imagined, or just tolerated ...  how does all the drugs keep coming in with borders closed ?

Five Thais and a Chinese walk into a bar. The bartender says...

Greased palms.

One has to wonder about Covid infections with the ilk going back and forth, but it's just quiet as a church mouse in those regards.
