Police from the Department of Special Investigation raided two warehouses in separate areas of Saraburi yesterday following a one year investigation. 

 

They discovered 50 million baht in fake brand name goods such as glasses, sunglasses, belts and caps.

 

Brands included Gucci, CK and Chanel. 

 

A total of 158,000 items were seized and two managers were arrested, reported Channel 7 TV news. 

 

The products were imported from China via sea.

 

The inquiry is being expanded to arrest the masterminds behind the operation that had a turnover of around 300 million baht. 

 

Further arrests and asset seizures are expected.

Some of the quality is not very good but I bought two pairs of Nike running shoes in Laos near Nong khai 2 years  for 700 baht.  Held together quite well.  I'm not a big runner but I can do 5-7 km and no soreness.   

 Makes one realize how much profit is in the name brand Goods. Tennis shoes have 60 baht in material and cost 5000 baht in USA  or Thailand.

I think that is the bit that scares the original manufacturer. Not difficult to imagine they would find it worthwhile to drop a few Bob in the pocket of the investigators to come down on the fakes.
