webfact 140275 Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Nineteen illegal Chinese arrested at two houses in Chiang Mai - orders from the top Picture: Sanook Mystery surrounds what 19 Chinese men and women were doing in Thailand after immigration officers and health officials arrested them at two rented houses in Fa Ham sub-district of Muang, Chiang Mai. Sanook reported that orders had come from the very top - new RTP chief Pol Gen Suwat Chaengyodsuk via immigration supremo Lt-Gen Sompong Chingduang - to investigate the case. Following initial investigations into the Chinese people's behavior a search warrant was obtained and officials went in on Thursday. Only 10 of those arrested had passports. All admitted coming into Thailand through a natural border. They were charged with illegal entry, breaking emergency decrees and contravening the Covid-19 rules. They were all taken away to quarantine. Sanook gave no indication as to what they were doing in Thailand, just the standard line that police were expanding the inquiry.

Thaiwrath 44576 Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 And they are worried about people coming here legally, quarantine etc. ! The Thai borders appear to have more holes than Swiss cheese, or, more likely, certain people are being paid to "turn a blind eye". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Thai borders appear to have more holes than Swiss cheese, or, more likely, certain people are being paid to "turn a blind eye". These Chinese " Illegals " are just the tip of a very large Iceberg Thailands Borders have always been porous, and many an Eye has turned Blind, where Drug Trafficking, and other dubious activities have taken place. Forget Covid entering the Kingdom from legal Foreign Tourists, the main threat is from all the " Wetbacks " that enter on a Daily basis, and in surprisingly large numbers.
