Busy day for Big Joke as he says 300 Indians face trouble for marrying Thais to stay in Thailand

Deputy commissioner of the Tourist Police Bureau Pol Maj Gen Surachet Hakpal has said that 300 Indians have illegally married Thai women in order to stay in Thailand.

Surachet was speaking to reporters during a bust involving the trafficking of Rohingya refugees in Bangkok and was quoted by his own TPB website.

The Indians had “married” the Thai women without their knowledge using civil service documents, he said.

He said that some arrests have been made while other Indians have fled abroad.

Some are hiding in Saraburi, he said, though no further details were given.

Meanwhile, in what was a busy day for the crime buster it was also announced that 29 Uzbekistan prostitutes who were conned into working in Thailand had been arrested and would face deportation.
