Popular Post snoop1130 Posted June 30, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted June 30, 2023 Phuket Tourist Police busted a Chinese man for allegedly working as a tour guide without the necessary permits and licenses. According to the Tourist Police, 43 year old Wang Kua Cheng was arrested this week in front of the Mongkol Nimit Temple on Dibuk Road in Phuket Old Town, The Phuket Express reported. Officers brought Wang to Phuket City Police Station, where he now faces charges of working without permission and acting as a tour guide without the required license. This recent arrest highlights a growing concern regarding foreigners engaging in unauthorised employment in Phuket. Authorities have been cracking down on such cases, as they aim to maintain the integrity of the tourism industry and ensure compliance with regulations. On Wednesday, immigration officials apprehended two Chinese women at Phuket International Airport’s car park over accusations of illegal employment. 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 include employment provisions. Following their arrest, the women were taken to Sakhu Police Station, which holds jurisdiction over incidents at Phuket International Airport. If found guilty, their next steps could include fines, deportation, and potentially a period of barred entry into Thailand.

Not sure how Thailand can follow visa and employment laws when they can fill their wallets and purses, maybe a large salary increase for all nation wide in the offices ? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
