Authorities have opened a 24-hour hotline at 1178 for citizens to report suspected illegal activities by foreigners.

 

Police Lieutenant General Phanumat Bunlaksana, Commissioner of the Immigration Bureau, emphasized that the operation aligns with policies to suppress transnational criminals and groups using Thailand as a base for illegal activities, including nominee business schemes that damage the economy and Thailand’s tourism image.

 

The crackdown on Koh Phangan reflects growing enforcement against foreign-owned businesses that circumvent Thai law by registering companies under Thai nominees while maintaining actual control of operations..

Evil Israeli foreigners again.

 

Never mind the Indian clubs and suit makers.

The Chinese tour operators.

Or the Russian property agents.

Most of the suit shop front employees are Nepalese or some Indian.

 

But the Thais actually make the suits.

 

Big factory near Tukcom in Pattaya owned by Thais makes all the suits.

 

The Nepalese are just better at sales. 
 

The Chinese tour operators have been largely cracked down on already.

 

If you have info on the Russians, please call the 24 hour hotline.
