They look like kid's to me.

500 baht to cross the border illegally? Clearly not enough to give the border officials their cut.

Cambodia News (Poipet City): On July 15, 2021, 5 illegal immigrants led by a Thai people trafficker were detained by the Thai police for an illegal border crossing into Srak Keo province from Cambodia.
The suspects were Cambodian men and women, aged from 20 to 35 years old. The police also seized an Isuzu pickup truck with a Thai number plate (กง-844).
The immigrants were detained in custody, charged with illegal border crossing and illegally residing in Thailand.

Cambodian workers caught trying to get home in ‘fake Thai ambulances’

In a worrying sign of how the ‘Delta’ variant is crossing so easily from Thailand to Cambodia, 14 Cambodian migrant workers were caught recently trying to return to Cambodia in ‘fake’ ambulances.

On the 13th of July, the Provincial Police of Chanthaburi Province intercepted an vehicle at a checkpoint in Village No. 4, Thep Nimit Subdistrict, Pong Nam Ron District, Chanthaburi Province, Thailand.

When police examined the ‘ambulance’, they found that it was just a normal minivan with ‘AMBULANCE’ written on the front.

Upon further inspection, police found 14 Cambodian migrant workers inside – 9 adults and 5 children.

They were being smuggled to the Thai-Cambodia border by 3 Thai nationals – named as Mrs. Kwanruedi, 45, who lives in Pak Kret district, Nonthaburi province, the van driver Mr Sarunyu, 31, who lives in Si Satchanalai district, Sukhothai province, the pickup driver, and Mr Kunanan, 19 – who were dressed in PPE gear and disguised as emergency medical staff to deceive officials.

Investigators have determined that the three suspects were hired to transport the Cambodians who from Bang Bon district, Bangkok – which is a ‘red area’ under strict control for COVID.

The Thai nationals received 25,000 baht to smuggle the Cambodian across the province to ​​Chanthaburi.

Migrant treatment centre feels weight of rising COVID-19 positive cases

Kamrieeng (Battambang). The Kamrieng Secondary School which was originally designated to receve returning migrant workers from Thailand has now been converted into a full fledge treatment centre.

It now houses 265 COVID-19 patients. Of this, five are infected with Delta Variant of SARS-CoV-2 virus.

Thon Se, the head of the Kamrieng Secondary School treatment centre told Khmer Times Thursday that of the 265 patiens, 107 were migrant workers who returned from Thailand.

“ These people need to be quarantined and treated for up to 21 days, irrespective of how fast they are cured of the virus. For other patients, those not from Thailand, they are allowed to leave the centre once they are successfully treated and test negative twice.

“We have 20 doctors out of Sompouv Lon located here in Kamrieng and we do a 14 days rotation. We have just one ambulance and this impacts our ability to transfer severely ill patients to Battambang provincial hospital for more advanced treatment,” Se said.

Se added that some of the people receiving treatment in the centre are hardcore drug addicts, comprising returning migrant workers from Thailand and that this complicated efforts in treating them as they suffer withdrawal symptoms and are not easy to deal with.
