In a significant operation in the Ubon Ratchathani province, three illegal Chinese immigrants were detained whilst they were in hiding in a border village. The three men were reportedly waiting to be transported to work for telecommunication fraud and online gambling organisations.

 

In the course of the same operation, police also apprehended a Thai national who had been sheltering the Chinese immigrants. The raid, conducted yesterday, took place across five different border villages situated in the Khemmarat and Pho Sai districts.

 

Acting on intelligence regarding the presence of unlawful Chinese immigrants, a combined operation was led by Ubon Ratchathani immigration chief Pol. Col. Chatchai Samniang. The team consisted of soldiers, law enforcement officers, and local government representatives.

 

The arrested Chinese nationals included 33 year old Jiang Jiang, 19 year old Cheng Mao Sheng, and 22 year old Zao Hui Fan. They were discovered in the district of Khemmarat. Along with them was Phornphana Buddaphan, a 46 year old local who was arrested for harbouring the Chinese trio. Charges of illegal entry were enforced upon the foreigners while Phornphana was indicted for his role in hiding them, reported Bangkok Post.

Seems like Thailand may hit their 10 million Chinese target - just 3 million may be either illegals, fraudsters, call gang members, gangsters, gamblers or hit men

What about some death penalty for illegal Chinese ? Might stop them coming.

How about the Thai's deport them to India?
