Phuket – A prominent Royal Thai Immigration commander has ordered a crackdown on ‘foreign mafia’ in Phuket after six foreigners, including Indian and Russian nationals, attacked Immigration officers.
 

The Royal Thai Immigration Bureau Chief Lieutenant General Itthiphon Itthisarnronnachai visited Phuket after the incident. He gave encouragement to law enforcement officers who had been injured after being attacked by six Indian men in Thalang.

 

Lieutenant General Itthiphon said foreigners who are not respectful of Thai laws must be deported especially if they are being aggressive and are a threat to the country. Itthiphon added that all foreign criminals would be removed from Phuket and Thailand.

      It's a deflection, highlights their inability to control local mafia! 

[Skipalongcassidy]

Shouldn't he be calling to go after ALL the criminals in Phuket??? Start at the police station and move outwards.

There are those, generally speaking, of certain Nationalities that you just do not want in your society. They contribute nothing. Russians, Nigerians, Albanians,, Romas, radicals to name a few. 

 

Yet, they get in everywhere. Its bad enough to have your own native thugs and scum without importing further problems.

Why would they care about Thai mafia? Most of those would be in positions that control the immigration and the city. Besides, it is not an immigration police problem.

Working profile: drugs and prostitution.

 

Bkk lower Sukhumvit should be cross checked by police.

Funny how the guys they wanted hade elite visas. What background checks were done? Or what background checks were paid NOT to be done. Next week they will be lining up 70-year-old pensioners on 5 days overstay. Ha!

To help avoid future problems try checking the home country criminal record before you allow entry to the Kingdom of convicted foreign crims in the first place. 

[jippytum]

Chinese, Indians and Russian mafia?  Perhaps something  to do with the free visas with reduced verification increasing the crime rate.

Thais can’t be deported from their own country.

So just by where they come from they are automatically bad? Now where have I heard rhetoric like this before? 

 

And who is "importing" them and who are these radicals?

Years ago while in university, I was told by many blacks to 'never trust a Nigerian'. While travelling in Central America I was told 'Never trust a Colombian'.

Why does there always need to be a CRACKDOWN? Crime prevention and detection should be a daily occurrence. Thai police are always reactive and never proactive 

 

if you want to look into mafia start in your own police organization, working in cahoots with visa agents doesn’t help the situation 

[maddox41]

Dont have to go far  just walk out of Phuket HQ and off you go 

What do you expect letting all the Trust fund / seedy Ruskys in due to running from Puton. 

Set up shop on new ground 

And just give them more incentive by giving them 90 day visa on arrival. 

They just dont get it  the   Thai government its always a quick fix that always bites them in the arse then when its to late the try to fix it. 

 

Phuket is going to  be a melting pot and be a big issue  i was going to move there not now ruined  by a few cultures that like to take over anywhere the go  and the thai government let it happen. 

When the war is over and all the trust fund babies can go home Phuket will be a ghetto and the ones that do stay you dont want anyway

I am surprised and disapointed how much we stamp people bad, just by their country or looks ...

"certain Nationalities that you just do not want in your society. They contribute nothing. Russians, Nigerians, Albanians,, Romas" , "black people from Africa in certain areas in Thailand. Working profile: drugs and prostitution", " Irish mafia and the pedophiles from Europe " 

Are the majority of the people not good ? and doesn't have every country bad people ??

If a gouvernement just try to correct / judge these peopel on the right way, is that not enough instead of we judging and pointing ower neighbours from other countries ?
