Seventy-five foreigners have been detained in police raids across the country aimed at overstayers, people working illegally and crime. The suspects were mainly from African countries, Myanmar and the Philippines in an operation that targetted 110 areas, police said.

The charges include illegally entering Thailand, overstaying visas and working without permission. Police have tightened their crackdown on foreigners who work illegally, many as English language teachers, football players in small leagues and even priests.

But some are members of criminal gangs in Thailand producing counterfeit banknotes, electronic cards, operating phone-call centres and running romance scams online that cheat Thai women out of money.

In Bangkok, the tourist bar hub of Soi Cowboy was also inspected in the early hours on Wednesday by Tourist Police Bureau deputy chief Pol Maj Gen Surachet Hakphal. Earlier in the night police arrested six foreigners for overstaying their visas and working without permission in Pattaya resort beach. One of them had lived there for three years, Pattaya police chief Pol Col Aphichai Kropphet said.

Teachers working illegally, okay.


But priests.

What harm have priests ever caused.

That's not clear at all. On the contrary, with his adult idiosyncrassies (to say it nicely) and perverse attitude towards women and sex, he very well may have been.

Sweet, one of them got bail.

I had the same thought....

Damn Foreigners....

Yep. Its pretty obvious the land of smiles is not welcoming of farangs of all descriptions These days under the junta Perhaps we brought it on our selves? But they are sure happy to take the money. I read today that the genaral gave em an extra day of for songkran. That surely equates to an extra day of carnage. What a fucking laughing stock to the rest of the world thailand has become. But you cant tell the mad fuckers that. They might lose face. Sensitive and ignorant fookers really.

So much for ASEAN freedom of movement and Labour.

Set the dogs on them

There from SHITHOLE lands.
