After the initial inspection, it was found that none of the above-mentioned Burmese had passports or other legal documents, so they were all brought back to the police station for temporary detention pending investigation. As for the above-mentioned Thai man and woman, after learning that the two were husband and wife, they confessed to being hired to pick up the above-mentioned Myanmar laborers, and revealed that there would be people who kept in touch through LINE along the way, and there have been 4-5 similar acts.
As for the above-mentioned Burmese laborers, they admitted to being smuggled into the country through the natural passage in Mae Sot district, Laixing Province, after which the Thais led them on a bus to their next destination, and each had to pay 16,000 baht to lead the way.
