About Tourists Arrested in Huge Bangkok Visa Crackdown | Busted In Bangkok
Thailand’s tourist police face a chaotic night of disputes, disappearances and dangerous decisions. In Pattaya, officers are called to settle a heated bar bill after a tourist accidentally buys drinks for everyone, while a disagreement over chocolate spread on a pancake ends in violence on Bangkok’s Khao San Road. In Phuket, police encounter a confused Kuwaiti tourist who has spent 15 hours in a hospital with no memory of his hotel—or what he has done since arriving in Thailand. Meanwhile, a British tourist with multiple sclerosis launches a desperate search for a backpack left in a taxi containing his passport, medication and nearly $10,000 worth of cash and valuables. Back in Bangkok, a 60-strong task force sweeps through the city’s nightlife districts hunting foreign visitors who have overstayed their visas. From bizarre confrontations to emotional reunions, it’s another unpredictable night for the officers protecting Thailand’s tourists—and enforcing its laws.
