Five Chinese nationals were caught working illegally as labourers in Bangkok, earning an impressive 2,200 THB per day.

 

On 15th December, Pol. Col. Prasopchok Iampinit from Huai Khwang Police Station announced the arrest of five Chinese workers aged between 34 and 61.

 

The arrests were made following a tip-off that led officers to the Hi-Class Building on Ratchadaphisek Road, Din Daeng, where the men were found demolishing a wall as part of renovation work.

The group had valid tourist visas but lacked the necessary work permits. Despite their tourist status, they were being paid 450 yuan—or approximately 2,200 THB—per day for their labour.

 

The police charged the men with working without a permit and handed them over to investigators for further legal action. Pol. Col. Iampinit urged the public to report any suspicions of foreigners working illegally, assuring that the police are ready to investigate such matters promptly, reported Daily News.
