Popular Post rooster59 Posted January 9, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 9, 2021 Nine illegal Chinese - three Thais - arrested in Chiang Rai Image: Naew Na Naew Na reported that police in the Thoeng area of Chiang Mai responded after a group of foreigners was seen outside the Ban Mae Loi Rai school on the Chiang Rai to Thoeng Road. Arrested at the scene were three Thais called Nikhom, 64, Thanawat, 48 and Tui 63 - all natives of Chiang Rai. With them were nine Chinese people aged 19-27. They had all travelled from Mae Sot, Tak, in Thailand's north west and were apparently about to cross illegally to the Golden Triangle economic zone in Laos. All the Chinese were illegal immigrants; some had expired passports. The Thais had driven them in three cars. They were all checked for Covid by the health authorities in the area before being detained by the Thoeng police ahead of prosecution.

Thoeng is in the area of Chiang Rai, not Chiang Mai, probably a typo Edited January 9, 2021 by kingofthemountain 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not think so as this area of Laos houses a giant Chinese casino complex - "Kings Roman Hotel and Casino" with easy access to China. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
