Daily News caption: Packed in tighter than sardines in a can

 

It sounds like a joke but it actually happened on the Ranong to Chumphon Road last night when an army patrol ordered a Chevrolet Colorado to stop. 

 

Driver Anurak, a Thai from Surat Thani, decided to try and burst through the checkpoint.

A device put a stop to that bursting his tires. 

 

The army arrested him then looked in the "carryboy" section of the pick-up and to their amazement found 28 illegal workers from Myanmar.

There were 16 men and 12 women jammed in "worse than sardines in a can", observed Daily News

 

All were charged with various offences and it was discovered that the Myanmar nationals had paid middlemen 25,000 to 30,000 for the privilege of coming to work in Thailand.

They would have got out faster than they got in.

Isn't there a category in the Guiness book for this?

 

Why do they pay, can't they come legally? 30,000 baht is a fortune.

..."paid middlemen 25,000 to 30,000 for the privilege of coming to work in Thailand." Nationality of middlemen known? Paid trafficking or what do you call this? 

To stay with the "overload" subject; it remains a fact, that my old vintage VW beetle 1960 is validated with 7 (seven) seats in the car registration book! 

id be quite happy be stuffed in there with all them ladies, wife might have something to say about it though

 

Where are the Myanmar citizens getting 25,000- 30,000 b to be transported to Thailand ?

Outstanding, imagine the carnage after they had a head on with a truck !!

Plenty of room on top ! As this country needs workers give them jobs ! I grieve for their plight, to escape their murderous Dictator.

Too much. I know someone who knows someone who has a friend that has a neighbor who knows someone who can do it for 10,000
