Police Colonel Napassapong Kosit-suriyamanee, Head of Chonburi Immigration Police, coordinated on 24 March, with the Department of Social Development and Welfare, Pattaya Police Station, and Pattaya Tourist Police to conduct a raid on a commercial building in Pattaya. The operation targeted foreign nationals living illegally in the city.

 

The building, located in Soi Pattaya Klang 16, off Pattaya Sai 2 Soi 5, Moo 9, Bang Lamung District, had been converted into rental rooms on the second and third floors, with the ground floor used for a restaurant and traditional Thai massage shop. Authorities acted after receiving complaints about a large number of foreign nationals residing at the location.

 

Upon investigation, authorities discovered 16 foreign nationals, including men and women from Myanmar and India, staying in the building. Two individuals were found without passports, and several others were found to be overstaying their visas. All were detained for questioning, and their immigration status is under further investigation.

 

In addition to prosecuting the illegal residents, authorities are pursuing legal action against the building’s owner for failing to report the foreign tenants within the required 24-hour timeframe. The raid is part of ongoing efforts to crack down on illegal immigration in Pattaya and ensure compliance with Thai immigration laws.

Good move, and don't forget to deport the tenants.
