I may be wrong but read that a while back on some forum. Those are the plastic police known as 'tessakit' but are similar to PCSOs in the UK.

Sounds like these "foreigners" may have been of the Chinese variety rather than the 'sweating farang' sort. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few days or a week is easily missed however when you get into 3 or 4 figures a different story and they are the ones that should be reported. Using foreigners as a score card is despicable. You cannot disagree with law. It is always right at the present time. 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nowhere in the world can you walk into countries and do as you like ! You do not stay illegally in US, UK or any other countries either without risk of being deported etc. Why should Thailand be different ? Get a visa, do border runs, milk the system if you like but don’t consciously break the rules. There are a lot of people that need to go back to their own countries. 3 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if the employer of the illegal worker without a permit was also tracked down and arrested?

A lot of West African chaps selling things that are not exactly legal. Wonder if they have work permits? Or visas!! Or would that be to easy for immigration? ???? They most likely have work permits as selling drugs does not come under restricted jobs for foreigners in Thailand . 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
