Thai security forces detained 45 people for illegally entering the country near the border with Myanmar in Prachuap Khiri Khan.

 

On Saturday (Oct 30), officers from Border Patrol Police 146 along with local government officers and immigration officials conducted patrols to intercept illegal immigrants along the Thai-Myanmar border.

 

The patrols focussed on the Sip-Sop natural pathway in Muang Prachuap, a notoriously difficult stretch of the border to police due to the terrain and its openness which makes it easy for people to travel across to enter into Thailand.

What do they do with them all in a case like this? Send them back to Burma to starve or to be shot by the Tatmadaw? I think if they were lucky they would be sent to one of the ten refugee camps along the western border, but I know the Thai government doesn't want those filling back up again.

Will they count as 45 arrivals and 45 departures on the tourism figures ?
