Thai arrested for smuggling 13 Cambodians across border
By The Nation



A man who illegally smuggled 13 Cambodians into Thailand was arrested in Surin province early on Wednesday.

At 5.30am, the police arrested Thawatchai Yantaphan, 24, who was hired to transport illegal immigrants to appointed provinces.

Each of the 13 Cambodians paid him Bt2,000 for the trip into Thailand.

Thawatchai was charged with hiding or helping illegal immigrants enter the country and for illegal transportation, while the Cambodians faced charges of illegal entry.

Police patrols in Surin have been intensified as vehicles transport goods into the kingdom from the neighbouring country.

It also shows what a bunch of monkeys control the borders ( or don’t).

'Appointed provinces'. That would be to places of employment? Sounds like it. Would have been good to follow it through to also bust any Thai employers who were wanting to hire them. I wonder if all 13 already had been promised employment if they could jump the border.

And yeah, this is how the Covid is re-introduced into Thailand after all the work to get rid of it and keep it down and out. f**king greed by assholes who do not care about anyone but themselves. And it is why we need to make sure everyone is vaccinated. You just can't stop human stupidity and greed.

I believe migrants entering Thailand via watercraft whether across river borders or by sea is problematic.
