The arrests were made by chance after a routine search was made of the bus parked near Lumpini Park.

 

Found inside were designer goods such as bags, watches, clothes,shoes and glasses. Among some of the names were Adidas, Ekko, Chanel, Chaps and Casio.

 

The drivers said they had been paid 10,000 baht for the delivery and had done this kind of thing many times before over many years.

Can't let Cambodian-made pirated goods compete with Thai-made pirated goods.  Excellent police work!

Why these stupid people feel the need to tell anything like this to the mibs ?

I can understand that they are born stupid and will die stupid, but this much is beyond understanding.

Maybe they just fast tracked auctioning off the confiscated goods?

All of the police involved will have happy mia noys after these are distributed. We rarely do ever hear about what happens to all of these goods. I guess it's like drugs and money confiscated. theirs to keep and or re-sell.

Some fake goods are pretty good , I have a fine pair of Rolex shoes and an Adidas watch that keeps perfect time.

Every street market in Thailand is selling counterfeit designer clothes just like the one's being seized here. What a waste of time and money. Just a big show with a photo opportunity and short video to send to the international news media to show Thailand crackdown on counterfeit goods.

 

Oh and doesn't a lot of real designer clothes labeled companies have sweat shops in Cambodia? Maybe the Cambodian police can raid them looking for human rights abuses and child labour.
