Pity they were not Cambodian, they would have got a lift to a registration centre instead.

"transferred to Mae Sot Police Station for further legal action." Standing room only in the cells!

Are not all illegals treated the same? Cambodia is encouraged to send workers.

These Burmese people's general was just here bonding with Thai generals and now they arrest his people? What is really going on?

I know some Burmese and they are excited by Laos government issuing passports to its people for 120 baht each, they are hopeful that Burma will do something similar.

I want a maid so I am also hopeful that they will make it possible for me to have one legally without too much trouble.

What happened to the Thai and Burmese generals hugging and kissing in yesterday's news? The Burmese aren't the same as the Cambodians? What's with the Thais?

Kissing ? Methinks your over active imagination is making things it wishes to see that didn't really happen.....
