Thailand Police Chief Launches 15-Point Crackdown on Foreign Crime

Thailand’s National Police Chief, Pol Gen Kittirat Panpet, announced a 15-point plan on November 4 to combat foreign crime and enhance public safety. The plan emphasises strict immigration control, targeting foreign criminals and tightening border security to prevent illegal entries. This initiative also involves heightened monitoring of criminal networks, especially those involving foreigners, and closer collaboration with neighbouring countries to curb cross-border crime. A new “Cyber Check” app, set for release in 2025, aims to protect citizens from online fraud. Gen Kittirat stresses police integrity, transparency, and fair treatment of law-abiding foreigners while ensuring strict penalties for law violators.
