Briggsy Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 Paris, IS, Syria/Iraq... Mai Sai? Someone please explain the connection... Yes, I will step up to the plate. Thai cops (Immigration are cops) never miss an opportunity to puff their chests out and big themselves up to the self-censoring, cowed and browbeaten media. It is easy to strut your stuff when nobody will tell you what you're doing is silly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the first I've heard of ISIT (Islamic State In Thailand). The ignored child will do anything to attract someone's attention in order to make himself feel important and significant..

docshock13 Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 (edited) Nice of the authorities to let those with nefarious plots know which border crossing NOT to pass through! Edited November 15, 2015 by docshock13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chainarong Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 This is one of the most important pieces in the jigsaw puzzle regarding boarder check points, increased security because of the incident in Paris is entirely in order, under section 44 , pity the rest of the Jigsaw has been lost...........................

Lozza Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 Could someone explain to me why the Mae Sai border is closed..I just looked at a map and I'm seriously confused as to why immigration would only choose this city. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ridiculous bunch, everywhere else called Muppets Show, here it's Immigration. It begs believe, even if one's already used to their permanent bs-ing. And yes, congrats to the always excellent PR department (if there really is such a thing?), lol ... As for ISIT, well there are three known members but considered 'no threat at all' - word is they mixed up IS with ISS and are now still waiting for safe space-passage to the califate!

Pib Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 OK, now terrorists know not to use the Mai Sai immigration checkpoint due to increased checks...or at least to use a better disguise upon entry...or just wait a few days until checkpoint security goes back to a normal level. What about all the other immigration checkpoints around the Thai border? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skildpadden Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 That is good to know for the Daesh. I suspect they are now so very annoyed of this extremely important life line being cut, that they will now skip Thailand completely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BritTim Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 That's a relief. I have been terrified that the perpetrators of the Paris attacks were going to cross the French border at Mae Sai. It seems Thais do not just have a problem with English language proficiency. They could do with brushing up on their geography. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
