The public is encouraged to report any illegal activities or information related to foreign nationals to Surat Thani Provincial Police at hotline number 1178 for further investigation.

I would have expected the above sentence to have either been preceded by something like  "  the officer went on to say" or followed by " said the officer

 

Instead it is made to appear, to me anyway, as advice from "asean now"

I always wonder why are these suspects posing with the cops for the photos. If it was me I would refuse unless threatened by violence....are they forced to do so in Thailand? Anyone knows here?

I bought some "fake" mangos the other month. Now I can sleep easier knowing the source of my pain has been taken off the streets and will never return to Thailand. Or something like that.

Sure doesn't take much to make the front page and get your pic in the paper? One ruskie and one vietnam lady with a plastic bucket fruit seller out of how many illegals roaming around....what's next?

Selling fruits to the public is right up there with threats to wider society. 100 lashes and a life time ban and a pedal cycle back to his own country I say.

This thread is about foreigners in Thailand.

Yes. And comments are about the way foreigners are treated compared to Thais.

Yes, absolutely right!

 

Thailand has become a safe heaven for scumbags and fugitives from all over the world including United States, Great Britain, Germany, Poland, Lithuania, Romania, China, South Korea, Russia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Nigeria, etc.

 

Tighten the visa rules for selected countries! Cancel Visa Free and Visa on Arrival schemes for those countries!

Why not also deport all the listed nationalities who are already here (plus Australia/NZ who you missed off the list)?  Thailand for Thais, right? ????

Vietnamese person Sells fruit on the streets, they are a threat to the security and safety to Thai nationals and foreign tourist. REALLY???????

Well she has taken a job that I Thai can do, that's the law.

Hence, a Thai sells now fruits instead of Yaa Baa and does't become a criminal addict, mugging or passing at high speed by and snatches your necklace..  ????

If I am Russian I would not want to be sent back with a criminal case and without job.....

They find me some employment in the very west of Russia....

the fruit seller wasn't described as "a threat to the security and safety to Thai nationals and foreign tourist". The Bit Coin scamming Russian was afforded that pleasure. 

May I suggest you read the first paragraph again. The one in bold.

[Dont confuse me]

International fruit selling syndicate smashed! 

Poor woman!

The only nationality I have ever been mugged by and burgled by, were Thai nationals. Police took no action in both cases, even though they had CCTV footage of the mugging (outside a shopping mall) and an eye witness who saw the 2  Thai nationals breaking into and leaving my house.

It's hardly a surprise that most crime in Thailand is committed by Thai nationals!

What crime are you expecting to be arrested for that will warrant a photo opportunity?

useless to say that there are no Thai thieves, they are called: HGPRE's

(highly graduated property redistribution experts) so why they should selling fruits?

 

Crossbreeding would be a solution:

Cambodians and Thais ... The outcome might be a thief too lazy to steal but allowed to sell fruits..
