Seven foreigners arrested over illegal pre-wedding photo shoots in Phuket

There is a simple solution to this problem - don't come to Thailand with all your friends and family and money / hotel bookings.

 

Get married in some other country that appreciates your business and don't forget to tell all your friends about how badly you were treated by the Thais.

Chinese normally get a free pass in Thailand! Which I am sure you know!! With your passive agressive question. 

Thats the point

Seven foreigners arrested over illegal pre-wedding photo shoots

meanwhile, in the same country, a teacher who confessed to raping his 12 year old student may face strict disciplinary action from his brotherhood...

Last trip to Phuket in the afternoon there was a wedding photo shoot going on in front of us on the beach. About an hour of various poses and some amusing pics of the bride trying to jump into the air. 

 

Finally they left and we thought we had some peace and quiet. About an hour later the same photographer was back with another couple for some sunset pics. 

 

Not sure if it’s the same outfit but my guess is they’ve been the source of complaints until the police finally took action.

 

 

this has been gong on for over a year<  when they cleared all the illegal chairs,massage places on Kamala beach end of last high season, i asked one of the army guys ( 3 stars, spoke good English) why the wedding photographers were working everyday?

he said  MONEY

Last year we had a Chinese family stay with us, unknown to us she was a famous Chinese singer and she was asking to maybe come back and do a photo shoot for her latest album cover, I never knew to tell her if she brought over her own photographers they needed a W/P, Ill know next time

Why not call them Chinese rather than foreigners?

You wouldn't call them foreigners in China.

How does Immigration know they are getting paid?

Foreigners (falangs) should be a term strictly reserved for whitey-round-eye-big-noses. The rest are illegal Asian aliens that are guilty of all the crime and stealing all the low-paid jobs from the hard-working Thais. Or drug dealers from the dark continent of course.

Foreigner and farang are not the same.

Chinese are foreigners in Thailand.

"Shoot" them!!!

[BigC 1,362]

They been doing this for ages.

 

At least employ a few thais to help and get work permits 

 

They are just taking the piss

 

Probably paid for the wedding in China 

 

Hence zero dollar tourists

 

Throw the book at them

No, because Chinese is a racial type as well as a nationality.

 

You’re wrong. In this example they are Chinese nationals therefore they are foreign. If they were Thai-Chinese then they wouldn’t be foreigners

Your first and second point are nonsense.

Eh wacth your mouth.

 

You can get married in Thailand these people knew they were braking the law

 

They were using Thailand to make profit without putting anything back in

 

Basically stealing 

 

There are plenty of legal weddings here 

 

Just need to go to a reliable agency

That makes no sense.  Will Immigration arrest ever Chinese with a camera?  Add the Japanese and you can now overflow all the prisons in the country.
