webfact Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 Mae Hong Son borders strictly patrolled to stop illegal crossings By The Nation Border patrolling units in Mae Hong Son province have been doubled to stop people from crossing over illegally from Myanmar. Provincial governor Sithichai Chindaluang said the Centre for Covid-19 Situation Administration has ordered each province to find people who are at risk of infection. He added that since Mae Hong Son shares a border with Myanmar, border patrols have been intensified to prevent illegal crossings and violators will face serious action. As for the transport of goods, he said the province has prepared specific areas for delivery which can only be accessed at specific times.

soi3eddie Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Why patrol in a team of 7 when 3 patrols of 2+ persons would cover a much wider area. They can be in contact by radio if back-up is needed. It's hardly as if they are going to encounter armed smugglers (just migrant workers or Thai ladies returning from Casinos over the border). Doesn't seem like a very good use of resources. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HiSoLowSoNoSo Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 I assume the illegal's will cross into another province now after this information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't seem like a very good use of resources. Border patrols were always running into armed caravans of amphetamine smugglers in days gone by and you'd often see reports of firefights. Don't seem to hear about that any more though - the smugglers must have better routes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pleasant young guys taking selfies who were happy to take a picture with me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
