Criminal Activity in Thailand Faces the Law
Thailand’s Immigration Bureau has initiated an operation to drive out hundreds of alien criminals that are currently living in Thailand.
Bureau administrator Wuthi Liptapallop said Thailand was known internationally as a safe place for criminals because of its relatively easy-going visa policies.
”I don’t want Thailand to be known as a place where foreign criminals hide and conduct illegal activities _ but they do, especially in Chiang Mai, Pattaya, Koh Samui and Phuket,” Pol Lt Gen Wuthi said in an exclusive interview with local media Sunday.
”We want these and other places in Thailand to be tourist destinations, not places for foreign criminals and gangs.”
Criminal activity ranges from drug dealing to vacation club and investment scams, to counterfeit products.
