Oziex1 Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Aside from the terrible cruelty of slavery, that this farcical investigation does nothing to address. I don't understand why Thai officialdom makes such a fuss about protecting Thai jobs from foreign workers when the place is full of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FangFerang Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 This seems to be the type of story that is really a government press release. See! We are fixing the problem--we pulled over one boat! And, well, no one was arrested of course.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andreas2 Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 If there was no paper work to prove it, i would seize the boat and investigate the claims of every one on board From the source article: Police are unsure if the complaint is genuine at this stage of the investigation and decided to seize the boat and detain everyone pending further checks.
