Immigration officials recently apprehended two Chinese women at Phuket International Airport’s car park over accusations of illegal employment. The specifics concerning the women’s identities have not been publicly disclosed, with authorities opting to cover their faces in the released photographs.

 

The arrest, which took place around 1.30pm yesterday, was spearheaded by Lt. Col. Akkaraphon Kaewkiat from the airport’s Immigration Checkpoint. The women were apprehended on charges of working without the necessary official permissions and exceeding the activities permitted on their visas.

 

The women also violated the conditions for staying in Thailand, as their visas did not includeemployment provisionst. Following their arrest, the women were taken to Sakhu Police Station, which holds jurisdiction over incidents at Phuket International Airport.

Wonder what the % of Chinese coming in are tourists as opposed to those coming to work illegally, as going by the stories on here the 'real' tourist numbers visiting beaches must be 4 million and not 5 million this year

Mostly Chinese, Russian and Ukrainians.
