Crime Pickup Truck or Sardine Can? Myanmar Migrants Crammed into Cabin on Illegal Journey to BKK
Picture courtesy of ThaiRath. A discovery was made on 18May in the border area of Tak when security forces intercepted a pickup truck crammed with ten people, including nine illegal Myanmar migrants and their Thai driver. The migrants, who had crossed the border illegally, were reportedly en route to Bangkok in search of work. At approximately 11:30, Colonel Ratkorn Rueantip, Commander of the Rajamanu Task Force under the Naresuan Army, ordered soldiers from Infantry Company 421 to conduct a patrol operation. The unit was tasked with monitoring illegal activities such as drug trafficking, border incursions and unauthorised entry into the country. While travelling along a dirt road through cassava plantations near Baan Valley Nuea, Village 3, Valley Subdistrict, Phop Phra District, the patrol encountered a grey Isuzu D-Max pickup truck bearing Phitsanulok registration plates. The vehicle was stopped for inspection and was found to contain an astonishing ten people packed tightly into its cabin, an arrangement compared by officers to “sardines in a tin can.” Among them were nine undocumented migrants from Myanmar, along with the Thai driver, later identified as 29-year-old Mr. Prit from Kiri Rat Subdistrict, also in Phop Phra District. Upon questioning, Mr. Prit confessed to collecting the migrants near the border at Baan Moker Thai, with the intention of transporting them to a house in Village 15 of the Kiri Rat area. He admitted that no payment had yet been agreed upon for the transport, as the contact responsible for arranging the smuggling had fled the scene earlier during a separate crackdown. The migrants, comprising five women and four men aged between 17 and 36, were named as follows: 1. Mr. Tet Oo Aung, 36 2. Mr. Si Su, 33 3. Mr. Aung Soe Thuy, 25 4. Mr. Saw Wei Nyein, 17 5. Ms. Ja Ja Phaw, 28 6. Ms. Si Su, 27 7. Ms. Se Seing Su, 35 8. Ms. Tae Jae Moe, 19 9. Ms. Wa Wa Me Htay, 23 All admitted to having entered Thailand illegally with the aim of reaching Bangkok for employment opportunities, travelling in stages under the guidance of traffickers. Authorities have taken the individuals into custody and are continuing investigations into the smuggling network. The driver faces charges relating to the unlawful transport of migrants and may face further legal consequences pending the outcome of the investigation. The incident highlights ongoing concerns about human trafficking and illegal border crossings along Thailand’s porous frontier. Adapted by Asean Now from ThaiRath 2025-05-19. -

Tourism From London to Warsaw: European Influx Powers Thailand’s Tourism Rebound
File photo courtesy of Kasikorn Research Center The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) is positively beaming as European tourists flock to the country. The TAT governor, Thapanee Kiatphaibool, reveals that the visitor count from Europe has soared, with a stunning 3.5 million arrivals between January and April. This marks a significant 18.91% increase compared to last year, with tourists from Britain, France, Germany, and Russia leading the charge. Remarkably, Russia boasted 1.74 million visitors last year, with a 17.72% jump, while Germany's tourist numbers surged by 19.78%, bringing in 873,364 visitors. The UK and France also made hefty contributions with 965,862 (up 18.19%) and 281,803 visitors (up 29.81%) respectively. The first four months of this year saw a breathtaking rise: Israel's tourist influx ballooned by 91.07%, Uzbekistan by 62.57%, Poland by 38.94%, and Romania by 32.54%. New and resumed direct flights from major European cities like London, Paris, and Madrid have played a pivotal role in bolstering these figures. Flights from cities such as Brussels and Stockholm have opened new avenues for tourism, significantly contributing to this positive trend. As of now, Britain's visitor count has risen by 20.83%, France by 21.41%, and Germany by 13.03%. Looking ahead, bookings for the July-September period have increased by 21%, and the TAT anticipates a further 17% rise during the high season from October to December. This all spells out a thriving and bustling tourism landscape for Thailand, driven significantly by European enthusiasm. The nation's hospitality, paired with accessible flights, is crafting an inviting narrative that is enticing droves of tourists from across Europe. As the year progresses, Thailand remains a prime holiday destination, outshining past records with no indications of slowing down. With strategic earlier investments in tourism and connectivity paying off, the TAT's optimism appears well-placed. As such, the future holds promising potential for even more visitors seeking the tropical allure of Thailand's shores. Adapted by ASEAN Now from Bangkok Post 2025-05-19 -

Crime Housekeeper Arrested for Role in Tax Evasion Scheme
Picture courtesy of Khaosod. A 54-year-old housekeeper has been arrested after allegedly being listed as a company director in a fraudulent shipping business involved in a large-scale tax evasion case worth more than 180 million baht. Authorities believe the same woman was also connected to two additional cases, bringing the total damage to the state to over 430 million baht. Mrs. Sombun was apprehended in the car park of an apartment complex in Si Racha district, Chonburi, under an arrest warrant issued by the Criminal Court on 18 February 2025. The arrest was ordered by Pol Col Thatphoom Jaruprach, commander of the Economic Crime Suppression Division (ECD), and carried out by a team led by Pol Col Naruephon Karuna. The charges against Mrs. Sombun include “conspiring to deliberately evade value-added tax (VAT) through fraudulent, deceitful, or similar means.” Investigators allege that Mrs. Sombun was listed as a director of a shipping company that acted as a customs clearance agent for imported goods. The company reportedly failed to issue VAT invoices and receipts, paid employees in cash without documentation, and understated or failed to file sales figures with the Revenue Department. These actions triggered a retroactive tax assessment covering 64 tax months, with a calculated liability including fines totalling 186 million baht. Further investigations revealed Mrs. Sombun was also involved in two other similar cases, with combined damages to the state exceeding 430 million baht. During questioning, the accused denied any knowledge of the fraudulent activities. She claimed that around 2015, while working as a housekeeper for a company in Laem Chabang, her employer asked her to sign documents. Trusting her employer, she signed the papers without understanding their contents and said she received no compensation. She stated she only became aware of the legal consequences when she was summoned for questioning earlier this year but failed to respond to the summons. Her arrest followed shortly after. Mrs. Sombun has been handed over to investigators at the Economic Crime Suppression Division for further legal proceedings. Authorities continue to probe whether additional individuals or entities were involved in the tax evasion scheme. Adapted by Asean Now from Khaosod 2025-05-19.
