The Labour Ministry plans to launch a screening process to catch Africans who are working illegally in Thailand with only a tourist visa.

Department of Employment Director-General Waranon Pitiwan said on Friday that the move was in response to many reported cases of Africans with tourist visas being caught trading jewellery, particularly in Chanthaburi.

Going back to 1999 I used to drink in the Bamboo bar on Suk soi 3 in Bangkok, now on the other side of the road and the sois behind it is where all the Africans used to congregate doing their thing and on the odd occasion the cops would turn up mob handed and cart a load of them off but speaking to the Thai coppers who used to come in the bar they didn't like doing it due to none of the fuckers having any ID documents and wouldn't admit to where they came from hence nowhere to deport them to so was more hassle than it was worth and they only did it when ordered to from the powers that be. Maybe 18 years on times have changed.

I do wonder what African nations have active embassies in Thailand
