[webfact]

 

In a comprehensive effort to enhance national security, the Thai tourist police have launched a nationwide crackdown targeting transnational crime and illegal foreign activity. This initiative follows directives from Police General Kittirat Phanphet, the National Police Chief, aiming to address issues of illegal immigration and illicit activities impacting the tourism sector.

 

Between 3rd and 8th February 2023, police nationwide conducted operations to root out criminal activities, particularly those involving foreigners breaking the law and acts threatening tourism.

 

The operations focused on ten key areas of criminal activity and were supported by both Thai and international volunteers, as well as public and private sector partners, to bolster tourist confidence.

 

The crackdown resulted in the arrest of 2,746 individuals, with 2,928 suspects detained across various offence categories. The five most significant groups of violations included:

 

1. Transnational Crime and Illegal Foreign Activity: 431 arrests, involving 441 suspects.

 

2. Tourism Business and Guide Act Violations/Low-quality Tours: 323 arrests, involving 323 suspects.

 

3. Vehicle-related Exploitation of Tourists: 174 arrests, involving 174 suspects.

4. Fraudulent Sale of Goods/Services: 412 arrests, involving 412 suspects, targeting overpriced or substandard offerings.

 

5. Crimes Impacting the Tourism Industry and Other Offences: 724 arrests, involving 891 suspects.

 

The Tourist Police Bureau remains committed to combating crimes that potentially harm the tourism industry, focusing on foreign violations and transnational crime.

 

These efforts aim to enhance safety and confidence among tourists while intensifying crime prevention and enforcement measures to ensure a safe and hospitable environment for all visitors, reported Siam Rath.

All the p3dos are heading straight to Cambodia. They fly to Sunarnabhumi, then take a border town into Cambodia. They won't fly to Phnom Penh... attracts unwanted attention. That's fine....they don't know their days are numbered. After Ukraine turned into the battlefield, even the money laudering became more difficult...but doable....until that REALLY dumb guy Elon ( ask AOC) and his band of diaper-clad infants exposed the corruption. They are gonna stir up some bad smells when they get the Pentagon and treasury 's books open. And Cambodia is already getting the MAPs all lined up!

"YOU CAN'T LOOK AT OUR CORRUPTION!  WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE? THE PRESIDENT?  ELECTED ON THE PROMISE YOU WOULD DO JUST WHAT YOU ARE DOING?"

This get's better and better by the minute. 

Pam Bondi is looking at the threats Schumer made to the SCOTUS Justices ON THE STEPS OF THE SCOTUS.....AS they were deciding the case the protesters were whining about.

Doesn't look good ....IF you think "NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW!"

Bondi, DOJ, Noem DHS, Patel....soon to be FBI. Duffy told Hillary "sit this one out."  Nice and sweet. Miley now gonna have to answer "why are you promising to inform our #1 enemy on EARTH, what the President plans to do? Seems kinda ...well that sounds like treason.  Biden gonna have to find someone to help him get to the ice cream store.
