In a recent raid on a beauty salon in Pattaya, Thai Tourist Police arrested several Vietnamese nationals for illegally working in a profession reserved for Thai citizens. The operation, led by Police Lieutenant Colonel Piyapong Raksa, took place on Tuesday, February 4, following local tips about foreign workers at a salon on the railway road near Soi Nern Plub Wan.

 

Arriving during business hours, officers found the foreign nationals providing hairdressing services. After presenting their identification, the police requested to speak with the manager. A Thai female employee assisted the officers in reviewing the workers' documents.

 

 

Pol. Lt. Col. Piyapong confirmed that the workers were Vietnamese and explained that hairdressing is a restricted occupation in Thailand, leading to their arrest. The Vietnamese nationals were later handed over to investigators for further legal proceedings.
