webfact Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Tourist touts, Khaosan forgers busted (photos) By Asaree Thaitrakulpanich, Staff Reporter Police peruse the professional and academic certifications advertised by a forgery suspect Tuesday afternoon in Bangkok’s Phra Nakhon district. BANGKOK — Need a university degree? Want to buy some gems? There were 75 fewer forgers and touts asking those questions Wednesday after the crackdown pendulum once again swung in their direction. A force of more than 200 tourist police and military officers on Tuesday arrested 75 suspects for soliciting foreign tourists to buy fake IDs – everything from diplomas and driving licenses to press credentials and teaching certifications – or patronize businesses where they get a cut or commission.

Stray Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 "For decades, touts have preyed on tourists, forgers have sold low-quality fake documents on Khaosan Road . . ." Too right! As Thailand concentrates on encouraging high quality tourists, only high quality fakes will be tolerated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stray Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Questions, questions. Tourists are asked not to take advantage of pirated goods. Drivers are asked not to take advantage of tourists. Police are asked not to take advantage of drivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

siam2007 Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Hilarious how they suddenly, after 30 years, "detect" all those things. Yesterday they were paid by the vendors every month, today they "detect" those shocking activities and arrest them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
