PATTAYA: A team of officers from the Central Investigation Bureau from Bangkok, who were assisted by the Tourist Police, arrested illegal immigrants and street beggars on Saturday who were caught in the Walking Street area.

Police Major General Gronaeg, Deputy Commissioner of the Central Investigation Bureau, led a press conference at the Pattaya Tourist Police Station to announce the arrests.

Two Thai women, Khun Yuadee aged 37 and Khun Wassan aged 25, were arrested after they were seen to be running groups of child beggars who would visit the bars in and around Walking Street, selling Chewing Gum.

Its ok...I never like Spearmint gum. I always fancied Bazooka Chewing Gum to get my chew on...

So should the headline read: Thais Arrested For Heading Illeggal Child Chewing Gum Gang?

Illegal and foreigner have a marriage fitting a needed divorce.

Is a mandatory photo session part of the punishment for every crime however trivial? Are they so really proud of these arrests?

Sometimes I wonder what is in the brains of the RTP, I guess these guys have had a whisky diet from their teens and the damage has been done.

i dont understand. I never seen these guys before but i can show them 10 others roaming pattayas streets every day last 3 years.

They have more profitable ventures with which to occupy their time.

Sadness enough to go around.

It's about time they did something. They have along way to go to clean up that city. It used to be a very nice place to visit but in the last 20 years it has gone down hill.

Yes, there is always a photo. All publicity is good publicity - shows action is being taken and no doubt pleases those 'upstairs'.

No need for the whisky diet...
