KOH KRA: Two Vietnamese fishing boats with 11 crew members were seized by a Royal Thai Navy’s vessel for illegal fishing in the Thai waters.

The two fishing boats were found fishing for sea cucumbers near Koh Kra off Nakhon Si Thammarant which is regarded as Thai waters. Naval officers boarded the vessels and asked the skippers for fishing documents but they were unable to present. The boats were seized and then forced to head for the naval station in Songkhla.

All the 11 crew members were detained pending their prosecution on illegal fishing charges.
Since November 20 last year, ten Vietnamese fishing boats have been seized by the RTN for illegal fishing in Thai territorial waters.

If the crew members were smart, they'd claim they were seeking asylum in Thailand to avoid persecution in Vietnam.

The Prayut government will send them immediately to Vietnam the next day.

The fish trawling nets tied to their boats might give the game away a lil but it's worth a try lol

It's like that board game 'Risk' out there!

There is another scandal unfolding where two bodies of enslaved Thais have come out of a mass grave 'used' by smugglers - in Indonesia... blink.png
