In the second case people from Laos were crossing the Maekhong River in the Chiang Saen area by longtail boat.

 

In the third case also in Chiang Saen (Chiang Rai) a Thai driver was arrested along with three Chinese at a natural border area.

Well done by the police - but it just goes to show illegal entry is still occuring.

 

I wonder why the Chinese come ... and why their own country doesn't have better control over who leaves China.

By letting as many of their people migrate legally or illegally, will accomplish the government objective to have a foothold in every country that will lead to domination .not necessarily soon but it could be after 50 years.

Many China men arrive illegally in Malaysia and assume dead local chinese identities. Few caught over the past few years.
