Thailand and China are collaborating to crack down on crimes committed by Chinese nationals using Thailand as a base. Thai immigration police, led by Pol. Maj. Gen. Pantana Nutchanart, flew to China to seek cooperation and exchange of information with Chinese police in a week-long trip from May 5 to 11.

 

The goal of the trip was to prevent Chinese criminals from escaping to Thailand and using the country as a hideout. Pol. Maj. Gen. Patana said the information on criminals wanted by Chinese authorities would help Thai police arrest Chinese criminals upon their arrival in Thailand, and prevent them from executing their illegal activities in the kingdom.

Additionally, Thai police will track down criminals wanted by Chinese authorities and provide assistance in their arrest, Pattaya Mail reported.

 

During their visit, the Thai police observed the operations of a special police task force in Nanjing, which could be adapted to develop the skills of the Thai immigration police.

I wonder of they agreed on a percentage deal?

One will not be blamed to assume that out 1.4 billion Chinese there would be a fair number of criminals that staying in China is not an option any longer and that they're looking for a safe heaven and a greener pasture, and what better than Thailand with it's less than honest culture of bribery and crooked police force?

In modern times Chinese criminals escaping has been going on since 1946 and the reason the re-entry permit system was instituted. This allowed Immigration to check with police head office if Chinese triads leaving Thailand had outstanding criminal cases against them before leaving.  

 

With the inception of an online Immigration computer database, Immigration can now see all and knows all.   Sort of rendering the re-entry permit system pointless!  I have pointed this out to a deputy immigration commissioners and suggested that it should be scraped!

Easy, China gives all the names, details, passport numbers and or bio metric details of everyone they want to keep in China and send it to Thai immigration to enter onto their system and blacklist Chinese criminals.
