Thailand raises retirement age to 65 for all sectors

Phuket Immigration Police swooped on 12 foreigners for violating the Immigration Act and working illegally, following a series of inspections conducted over two weeks.

 

Immigration Police intensified their crackdown on illegal activities involving foreigners from October 9 to October 18, according to a report by the Phuket branch of the Public Relations Department (PR Phuket).

 

Police carried out inspections at 22 locations across the island, including establishments and residences frequented by foreign nationals. Across these operations, a total of 621 foreigners were checked, resulting in the arrest of 12 individuals for either violating the Immigration Act or the Emergency Decree on Management of Foreign Workers Employment 2017.

 

Phuket Immigration chief, Police Colonel Kriangkrai Arayaying, stated that the efforts to combat illegal activities would persist, with a particular focus on foreign nationals involved in operating illegal businesses, acting as criminal influencers, or participating in gang-related activities.

 

“Phuket Immigration is determined to target those violating the law to ensure public safety in the area.”

 

Although the arrests were not directly reported by Phuket Immigration, the PR Phuket report coincided with the arrival of Police Colonel Suphot Yongstar, Deputy Commander of Immigration Bureau 6, in Phuket yesterday, October 24, to inspect the main Phuket Immigration office in Phuket Town, reported The Phuket News.

 

During his visit to Phuket, Pol. Col. Suphot also inspected the operations at the Phuket Yacht Control Centre at Chalong Pier.

 

In related news, police in Na Kluea, Pattaya undertook a comprehensive inspection of foreign workers on fishing boats on September 16, responding to concerns about illegal labour in local waters.

 

Police Lieutenant Colonel Wirachai Thinkamut, Chief of the Immigration Bureau in Chon Buri, led the operation involving over 50 officers.

 

Officers dispersed throughout the area, from Saphan Yao Na Kluea to Soi Sam Yaek Thammada, scrutinising workers sorting seafood and checking their identification documents. The operation uncovered multiple foreign workers from Myanmar and Cambodia, some of whom did not possess proper documentation.

From the photo they look to be poor Burmese & Lao and Cambodians. Easy victims of the incompetent police.

 

No Russian mafia in the net ...

After two weeks slog the immigration squad found just 12 illegal poor souls making an honest living ?

Recruit the 12 illegals and then  thousands of them will be discovered .

In one sentence you both criticized Immigration for only catching 12 transgressors, then without evidence, claimed they were "poor souls making an honest living"

Your second sentence was even weirder.

Dear old Croc, hire a thief to catch a thief is my meaning by hiring the 12 illegal migrants workers to locate more if that is what immigration really wants 

To just locate 12 in two weeks of searching is far from impressive considering there are illegal migrants everywhere.

But you said the 12 were honest, ergo not law breakers. 

Your solution of recruiting the thieves into the Immigration Police force still sounds weird to me.

An element of sarcasm Mr Croc

concerning the hiring of the unfortunate 12. 

Have you never heard of police forces hiring criminals?

That's not weird Sir it is a fact.

[Old Croc]

Sorry for the confused person. I'm just saying illegals can't be both thieves and honest people.

I'm fairly sure no police force hires criminals deliberately.  Not saying they don't end up there. Paying informers is not hiring.

 

And don't call me Sir, it's disquieting in this forum! 🙃

Not informers.

Convicted hackers of date have been used often by the police

arresting 12 Burmese laborers on a construction site or working in a restaurant on the beach in Surin is not the same as arresting 12 Russians that were running tour agencies, renting cars& motorcycles, running visa agencies or working as guides
