Thai Highway Police have detected a trafficking network smuggling Chinese scammers through Thailand to Malaysia, with 26 suspects arrested across five incidents since February. The scammers—fleeing crackdowns in China and Taiwan—are being moved south toward the Malaysia-Thailand border and Forest City, a massive development project in Johor, where Malaysian authorities recently arrested 335 people in scam operations. Key pattern: organized movement through southern Thailand (Chumphon, Songkhla) with local Thai accomplices hired to transport contraband-carrying migrants for 20,000–30,000 baht per trip.
