Local officials, on the Thai-Myanmar border committee in Chiang Rai province and Myanmar’s Thachilek township, held their first meeting of the year today (Tuesday), to discuss the orderly repatriation of Thai nationals working in Myanmar, and human smuggling, in a bid to contain the spread of COVID-19 in Thailand.

 

Leading the Thai representatives at the meeting, held in the middle of the Second Friendship Bridge, was Maj-Gen Narith Thavornwong, commander of the Pha Muang Task Force, while his Myanmar counterpart was the governor of Thachilek U Min Nai.

 

Sources close to the Thai delegation said the Thachilek governor agreed to Maj-Gen Narith’s request to arrange for the orderly repatriation of Thais, but they must register first and pay fines for illegal entry, without facing imprisonment.

To make sure, all returnees from over any land border with Thailand should be treated the same as if they come from overseas, no discount and no special 'poor people' consideration, 14 days quarantine to make sure...

So this is the reason they are skipping the legal route ...................LOL

This means that the Thai nationals intending to return to Thailand from Burma must first register with the Burmese government and pay them fines for having entered Burma illegally after which they can enter Thailand by a legal route and into quarantine?
