webfact Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 Picture: Siam Rath Chiang Saen immigration in Chiang Rai, northern Thailand, arrested two Thai people smugglers and three Chinese nationals near the border with Laos. Earlier the three Chinese - Mao, 38, Wang, 43, and Feng, 30 - had crossed the Mekhong by boat to Laos. They then secretly return the same way and were headed for the Mae Fah Luang airport and a flight to Bangkok. A pick-up was taken into evidence. Picture: Siam Rath They were all charged with illegal entry. The two Thais were charged with conspiracy to aid and abet illegal immigration, reported Siam Rath. The Chinese had made the trip before, it was revealed. -- © Copyright ASEAN NOW 2023-03-14 - Cigna offers a range of visa-compliant plans that meet the minimum requirement of medical treatment, including COVID-19, up to THB 3m.

markclover Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 When your country sucks so much no one cares about boat crossings. Just entering Laos is already a punishment. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burma Bill Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 4 hours ago, webfact said: had crossed the Mekhong by boat to Laos. To visit the Kings Romans Casino complex on the opposite side to Thailand?? Back in my Tourist Police Volunteer days in Chiang Rai, there was a regular small boat service across the Mekong from a reception center with car park on the Thai side near Chiang Saen to the casino complex opposite - no visas. Car ferries (similar to photo below with a pontoon being guided by a tug) brought vehicles down river (from Burma/China?). This was the only place in Thailand I visited where my mobile phone automatically displayed "China Telecom" instead of "AIS". 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
