Eleven Thai nationals face prosecution after they were allegedly found illegally entering the country from Myanmar by border officials in Tak province on Saturday.
 
They were found by soldiers and border patrol police in Mae Sot district.
 

The Thai nationals crossed the border with their belongings, officials said. They reportedly confessed later that they worked as staff in an online casino business in Myanmar’s Myawaddy city.

 

The 11 were tested for Covid-19 and placed in a government quarantine facility. They face prosecution after the quarantine period.

   The joke doesnt really fit in with this story, you should only tell the joke when serious crimes are committed , like murder or something 

Since when did you become my manager?

Is a Thai entering Thailand illegal, or is the offence avoiding quarantine?

 

 

I would say both.

 

There are legitimate ways to enter any country, they have favoured the route used by illegals.

 

The problem is compounded with the Covid19 restrictions, which they have chosen to disregard.

If they worked for an online casino, why would they need to leave Myanmar?  I'd imagine that business would be booming right now.

For reference (LCB);-

 

"The basic situation for online gambling in Myanmar, previously Burma, is that it's technically illegal. However, for all practical purposes, there are no regulations."

 

Perhaps, like Cambodia, illegal online gambling is now being enforced. Even Thailand is now smashing online gambling establishments as many of you may have read. In Cambodia, many thousands of Chinese lost jobs and returned home, and this was before the Covid-19 pandemic.
