Reports surfaced on social media alleging that foreign mafias had taken over streets in Pathum Thani’s Mueang Ake area, setting up shops and charging for parking. In response, local authorities conducted a swift investigation.

 

On 9th December, Major General Panumas Boonyalak, Acting Commissioner of the Immigration Bureau, ordered an urgent inquiry after claims emerged of foreign mafia activities in Mueang Ake.

 

The reports suggested that street vendors were allegedly extorting parking fees from the public. The probe, led by Pathum Thani Immigration Office, included local police, employment authorities, and other agencies.

Officials inspected Ekcharoen Road and found 20 vendor stalls lining both sides of the street. The investigation concluded that there were no stalls obstructing traffic, and no foreign individuals were found managing the stalls as reported. Additionally, there were no incidents of extortion for parking discovered.

 

However, Mrs La Somchanmavong, a 32-year-old Lao national, was apprehended for working without a permit. Legal action was also taken against Ms Chatchadaporn for employing a foreigner illegally. Employers were fined for failing to notify the registrar about foreign hires within the required 15-day period.

 

Major General Panumas confirmed that no extensive wrongdoing or fees for parking were found. Nonetheless, he emphasised the importance of regular inspections to prevent such occurrences and encouraged people to report any suspicious activities to their local Immigration Office or call the nationwide hotline at 191, reported Siam Rath.

Pot calling the kettle black, springs to mind, obviously as with many accusations about FOREIGN  naughty people, normally a Thai tittle tattling to ensure their nefarious activities carry on illegally and unseen by the authorities who are too BUSY CHASING DOWN THE MIST OF MISINFORMATION .
