On September 26 at 1:30 p.m., Immigration Police held a press conference at the Immigration Bureau in Muang Thong Thani. The event was led by Police Major General Panthana Nuchnarot and several other senior officers.

 

They announced the arrest of a Chinese woman involved in an international drug trafficking operation, smuggling ice (crystal methamphetamine) through postal parcels.

 

The investigation began when the Immigration Bureau received a tip about a foreign national residing suspiciously in an apartment in the Huai Khwang area.

Authorities identified the suspect as Ms. Sun (alias), a 42-year-old Chinese national who had overstayed her visa in Thailand for 1,279 days. Further checks with the Office of the Narcotics Control Board revealed that Ms. Sun had a criminal history in China for drug trafficking.

 

Her modus operandi involved hiding 210 grams of ice inside 43 chocolate snack packages and sending them via postal parcels from Thailand to Shenyang, China.

 

Chinese authorities had already been investigating her activities and had issued a warrant for her arrest.

Immigration officers, along with narcotics officials, tracked Ms. Sun to her residence in Huai Khwang and apprehended her.

 

She was charged with overstaying her visa and was handed over to Immigration Bureau’s Investigation Division for legal proceedings.

They didn't track her her , they were tipped off as to where she was living.

Once again another overstay caught , not by the 90 day reporting system or the TM 30, or even the alertness of Immigration officials.

No , another tip off.

Of all the countries to hide out in, one with close ties surely would be a no no.

These are the quality Chinese,. Thailands is welcomming. But on the other hand considering that Thailand is ruled by the highly rich citizens of Chinese descent, what to do ?
