Chonburi Immigration Police rounded up 46 Cambodians
who were not only in Thailand illegally, but were allegedly gambling.
The two Khmer men, 22 women and 22 children were
apprehended inside a commercial building on Naklua Soi 12 Nov. 9.
Police were called to the scene from a tip that
several people were gambling. They arrived to find several trying to
escape, then discovered another 40 Cambodians inside.
Immigration officers said the Cambodian families had
paid agents 6,000 baht each to come to Pattaya to work as beggars,
flower peddlers and other street jobs.
