snoop1130 Posted December 28, 2023 Share Posted December 28, 2023 Police on the island province of Phuket have expanded their investigation into human smuggling activities, after rounding up some 28 Chinese nationals who exploited tourist visas to work at a construction site. Acting on a tip-off about the presence of Chinese people in Thalang district, police raided a construction site in Ban Layan village yesterday and found Chinese nationals working there without appropriate documentation. During the investigation, they told the police, through an interpreter, that they entered Thailand on free tourist visas. They identified a Chinese man, known only as “Heu”, who picked them up from Phuket International Airport and brought them to the construction site. Full story: Thai PBS 2023-12-28 - Cigna offers a range of visa-compliant plans that meet the minimum requirement of medical treatment, including COVID-19, up to THB 3m.

ripstanley Posted December 28, 2023 Share Posted December 28, 2023 From the linked story. What a joke They claimed that Heu promised to pay them a daily wage of Bt2,500-Bt2,800 (500-800 Yuan) and that they would receive their salaries every two months. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkk6060 Posted December 28, 2023 Share Posted December 28, 2023 Thais don't want to do those jobs so what is the problem? And, maybe the police should talk to their own people if in fact they arrived via the airport with visas. Not really smuggling unless it was done with the movement being secret or illegal. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
