Immigration police manning the Huay Hin Fon checkpoint in Mae Sot, Tak, in north western Thailand stopped three Chinese nationals on overstay yesterday. 

 

The men got stranded after the border with Myanmar was shut during the coronavirus pandemic. 

 

They had been staying in a hotel in Mae Sot since arriving in Thailand in early March.

 

They were all on overstay.

 

They were heading to Bangkok to stay in an apartment in Huay Khwang.

Not covered by amnesty ?

 

There are huge numbers of Chinese working over the river in Burma where a small Chinese city has sprung up on land leased from Burma. I'm sure there are plenty more Chinese there in the same situation.

Treat them as would would be treated in China for the same offense.

Difficult to arrest Chinese citzens in China for overstaying?

 

If they were foreigners they'd be deported Same as anywhere.
