Immigration police officers, accompanied by officials from the Rayong Provincial Employment Office, carried out an inspection at a Chinese-operated company in Nikhom Pattana Sub-district, Nikhom Pattana District, Rayong Province, following reports of illegal employment activity.

 

During the inspection, authorities discovered 13 Chinese nationals, aged between 35 and 58, working at the premises without the required permits. None of the individuals were able to communicate in Thai, prompting the use of a Chinese interpreter to inform them of the charges.

 

All 13 were charged with working without official authorisation in violation of Thai labour laws. They were subsequently taken to Nikhom Pattana Police Station for further legal proceedings.

 

Officials have not yet disclosed the name of the company involved, but investigations are ongoing to determine the extent of any further violations and whether the employer will also face prosecution.
